'' Your Talent Has Just Taken A Rest ''

After shining so bright,
Off goes the light,
Suddenly my mind goes dim,
I cannot ignite,
My yearning to write,
It leaves me feeling so grim.

I’m fully aware,
This isn’t fair,
As I go on the search for a cure,
It’s common not rare,
So, perhaps a prayer,
Will have that certain allure.

I’m now feeling terse,
Where is my verse,
My predicament brings on a tear,
I try to immerse,
But my mind’s in reverse,
Nothing is coming out clear.

As hard as one tries,
My pen, it defies,
Why won’t it do what I want?
Myself I chastise,
Yes, even despise,
My very being, it’s trying to taunt.

I refuse to give in,
This battle I’ll win,
Eventually I will find relief,
Suddenly from within,
I hear, let’s begin,
In your abilities you must have belief.

Though you may bleed,
Don’t ever concede,
With dexterity, you have been blessed,
You will succeed,
If this message you heed,
