A collection of poems

Overcrowded lobby

I’m sure there is a strike going on inside of me.

My subconscious is keeping my feelings and thoughts locked in my minds lobby.

This must be a self-safety precaution or something.

But it’s getting a little overcrowded.

All my thoughts are touching.

I see them enter, but they never seem to make it to the conscious part of me.

Which might be why writers block has become ever so comfortable with me.

I had given all those thoughts very comfy seats.

Not to stay permanently.

But to be processed comfortably, into a reality.

I was doing so well with my new processing routine.

I even felt like wow, I am making progress that I could read.

Then I woke up one morning and tried to write.

I knew exactly what I wanted to say.

But nothing would come outside.

A prisoner with thoughts for cellmates, in my mind.

I’m done.

I am reverting back to someone I don’t recognize.

Those past versions held feelings hostage in the cells of her mind.

I’m practicing to process anything, especially detrimental thoughts I can find.

I just know, I need to write.

It’s the only way I feel free from the grip of the critics inside.

Poetry is my tool, and Its helping me to bridge gaps within my timeline.

Allowing my conscious state enough time to process unheard feelings and thoughts.

from the lobby of my mind.

    I could’ve sworn I had a fabulous lady leave a comment on my blog today! She was telling me that I should take it easy on myself. And she was also saying as well that sometimes it’s okay to not write a poem or even post everyday. She told me that everything is going to be ok, and that I’m never alone too! Do you think she’s wise in her assessment? I certainly do! But that’s just me though! You tell me if I’m wrong? 😉

    Oh you definitely understand what I’m experiencing lately too! But, regardless of whether you are able to write or not write, it doesn’t matter. You’re beautiful as you are. So that’s good enough. Your self awareness is courageous! And that gets you places, no matter where they may take you. And it took you back here. You wrote something good down. And you put your soothing voice out again into the world. It’s good enough.

    And I’m also selfishly glad when you’re able to get something out because I love what I love the energy coming out from your heart! So fire away neurons! Let’s go!!! 😂

      Its crazy because I was going to post it before I read your piece and commented. I thought that was pretty silly on my end 🤣I will say though that sometimes I tell other people things I also need to hear. I am happy I am not the only one that feels the way you expressed. Such a similar wavelength, you and I are on and I am here for it!! You inspire me, so never stop!! Hope your day was as amazing as you ☺️🙏🏼

        Absolutely wild! And my goodness, Am I absolutely lucky to learn more about you or what! You’re just so freaking sweet for saying that! 😊😊😊😊 I’m humbled that somehow my crazy self is inspiring you! As they say, one day at a time, we live in the moment, and keep it rolling! 🙏🏻

        “I had given all those thoughts very comfy seats.” If you go check that line, it’s showing on my end that you have an extra letter “M” after the sentence. I don’t know if you’ve seen that yet or not, but figured I would let you know just in case you haven’t. I’m glad we’re on that same wavelength Sierra! Thanks for bringing me some happy tears and a smile to my face! 😁🙏🏻
