Inner Emotion

How do I begin to uncage this emotion?

My inner muse is fiercely pissed
Angry that brain, is blocking emotions
From spilling out into the pages
Casting them skyward into the night

She’s spitting mad at the reluctance
Eager to release the trapped feeling
That dwells buried inside the fragile heart
Caged behind solid barriers

I’m raging a war within myself
Keeping ardent flavor at bay
Protected within a heart’s rib cage
Detaching the notion that it’s real

Grief, loss, death are mainly the times when my pen writes without struggle, these writes for me my "better"(better than average) writes. Because this the case I guess the less I write the better:)
Not being a reader of anything much leads to my very simple way of writing, never ever used a thesaurus or dictionary when putting pen to paper.
Being a terrible reviewer I read much of many folks writing but seldom comment.
I have read and enjoyed most of your recent posts and have enjoyed the lovely feedback you get from all that visit.

I’m glad you stopped by and left a message. When I first started writing I did use a thesaurus or dictionary. I do now. I use both plus a rhyming dictionary. I have a great fondness for words and reading both although I tend to read paranormal romance and fantasy romance. Anything that helps me escape to another world for awhile.

like threading a needle, not an easy thing getting out of our own way. reason battles feeling. a prisoner of war seeking liberation.

That is very true. I have not written the poem that should have been written yet but it will come at some point

Superb work. The creation process can be a trip.

[Poetic Beauty]

Many time I fight what is wanting be written and what I want to write if that makes sense.

I love angry poems, they are so vibrant and visceral. Amazing word choice and punchy tone!

So what I call my muse is the inner workings of my creative brain. She screams sometimes about what I’m going to write lol and well on this occasion I didn’t want to write about what the heart was saying.

if I might be permitted to offer a few words of advice, I would suggest any uncaging should be undertaken slowly .. not necessarily with caution, but very slowly indeed and do try to maintain eye contact at all time .. then give a few wiggles here and there and a twist or two on the way down would most surely go down a treat ..

Laughing and my mind definitely wandered in directions most wouldn’t have lmao

It really be frustrating when we are trapped in our inner thoughts, and struggles to release,
but we must remember to calm our thoughts and be silent for a moment, just to feel peace and not feel at war with our thoughts in mind.
Nice write.

[Poetic Beauty]

This is definitely true.

[Amy R]

Yes, like past few days my mood been like this too, but i am working on not feeling this meltdowns.

[Poetic Beauty]

Yes I completely understand. I’m trying to teach my brain not to dwell on negative thoughts. This will take some time.

[Amy R]

It definitely will but I hope u get through soon. Take care

[Poetic Beauty]

I will. I have moody days here and there.

[Amy R]

Me too, so I understand

The line 'My inner muse is fiercely pissed' hit me with some force... but it was such a telling word for the ranging drunkenness within, wanting to spill out in a stream of needful feelings... wanting to break out of the cage and find the freedom of an overwhelming f**k... Yes, that's the word that says it all... F**K. Total satisfaction.

[Poetic Beauty]

Not quite the word but if that is how you perceived it that is okay.

[Jibey]

Well, I thought it expressed well the primal strength of desire...

[Poetic Beauty]

It does and depending on our day and emotions it can be perceived many ways. I appreciate your honest review and that it made you feel primal deaire
