Inevitable (Brandy Goodman Poem #7)

Some people wail and cry

Others scream and shout

But a writer writes

To get it all out.

But what do you do

When you set pen to page

And every possible emotion

Fights for center stage.

All these warring emotions

Confuse more than the brain

If the muse is all muddled,

Attempts to write are in vain.

So what do you do

To sort through it all

Because holding it in

Will cause and inevitable fall.

How do you push past

The pain and the fear

What are the steps

To get your path clear.

Can you force it out

Without losing control

Or do you let it boil over

Then try to become whole.

Feeling so much at once

Makes you not want to feel at all

But if you go numb

You are bound to fall.
