Poetry - Writer's Block by Isabella Rados

I'm not very good with words

I used to think I was though

I used to be so passionate about writing

I still am, just not as much

Now I get frustrated when I write

Now I doubt my skills

Now I cry when a sentence sounds wrong

Now writing can be a chore

People say I'm talented

People say I'm good at it

People say I will go places with my writing

People say to persevere

How can I do that when I don't believe in myself?

Writing is a release

Writing is a career

Writing is a passion

Writing is so many things

But it shouldn't be difficult
