    Ok. So, when you're full of emotion, shouldn't it be easy to write a poem? Or express yourself? After all, poetry does express emotion...
    So how come, even though I'm so overwhelmed with...everything... (emotions coming outta my ears), I can't seem to put anything in words? The words aren't really coming to me anymore... And when they do come to me I don't know how to sort them out.
    I'm so unmotivated to do anything right now,I'm just tired. So Tired... Is this normal? Or should I be able to write about this?

    Sorry if this is a completely weird question, I just... Don't know :S

    Well I dont know what the question is you're asking about a million.

    But yes its natural to feel so overwhelmed with ideas and not know where to start...I get that alot....what I do is I write...or sing....or draw do anything to let out the emotions....and then in time things usually sort themselves out.

    Sometimes the best poetry doesnt need sorting out....because poetry should be as spontaneous as your feeling sometimes....grab a pen!

    I want you to write about your tiredness... it would be an awesome poem....!!

    Ya I feel like that sometimes. So then i just write them all down and when my mind stops racing i pick one thing and start or try to write about it, although sometimes it doesnt come out as planned i can always look back at it and change it. But sometimes it comes out perfectly.

    But what if it doesn't come out at all?
    It's like I have ideas inmy head...but no words...Maybe it's mixed emotions or... confusion..or something... I'm having troubles wording it right here?! Its just not working.
