Probably the best expression of that feeling I have read. Losing the words, writer's block, whatever IT is. Excellent write.

Dear Adri.....Even though the title rushes forth with 'hostile frustration', you have given us a beautiful, flowing account of your emotions that have bubbled to the surface.....Writing from your soul is evident here....Gripping read.....
To sunshine....

I'm sure we all feel like this at some point in our lives. :-) You've expressed the idea of this beautifully. I loved the whole poem!

my words get lost with my a.d.d. or whatever they call it
you have a great way of expressing yourself in script.

Very well written expressing your search of intellect and soul for the self and its meaning. That's a worthy and mystical journey. The words that you sought, you found. Your honesty is so relevant and so pure. This is a wonderful poem... flow, originality, creativity, great vocabulary of expression. Nice work. Tristan

Take it from me (one who knows all about the pit from personal experince)
you are doing really well expressing things. You may not rate them just now...but one day you will look back and read and know that you can help others through the same thing.
To me, this is often the power of poetry especially when it come from the soul almost as an anguished cry....
better days are ahead my dear Adri. My thirties were good, my fortries were better..my fifties suck ;-(

i think you did a great job explaining your frustration - but i think you may well have found your words again! this is insightful and thoughtful. i also think the visual element of your poem - short lines, centered on the page - amplifies the feeling of constriction you are feeling. great work, adri.

let it all hang out, baby!! I think this is what people call writer's block. I don't believe there's any such thing. It implies that we have a great message and something is preventing it from coming out...Sometimes, we just have nothing to say. When inspired, not force on earth can keep it inside.. Nice writing, though...Hang in there, kid...len

Adri, I do feel your frustration in this piece. Just want you to know periods of silence are ok...sometimes we feel as though we don't have anything we want to share, or feel like our thoughts are unworthy, or that there is no one to listen to what we have to say...then it is time to pamper yourself...take the pressure off, go for a long walk in peaceful surroundings, make a mental note of all the things you are grateful for, buy some fresh flowers to put in a vase, or treat yourself to a new fragrance...fill your senses...relax...unwind...love yourself, you are worth it!

I have wondered about such things you know. How does it occur when one is presented with a moment that begs for a response. Does inspiration and motivation need to arrive together? Should we ruminate like a cow chewing its cud or push the words out on a stream of emotion? When we are at a lose for words should we follow a feeling to generate the verbiage or go through a slow thoughtful process?

Sometimes when the words get dammed up, it causes our insides to feel cramped, crowded and frustrated....You've expressed it perfectly!
Hang in there, Dear Ah...I know it will pass...but waiting is the hardest thing!
