The Words are Missing
I used to write. I was never published or anything like that, but i had a way with my words that touched something within me and i enjoyed sharing them with others. Even now my name in my wife's phone is David "the poet" Blackwell, because of several short stories and poetic ramblings i had posted at one time. But i cant find the words anymore. Sure i can manage a paragraph or an the occasional social media post but the heart and feeling i used to find in my writing is gone. I personally feel like i lost connection with part of myself after my accident and the subsequent plethora of medicines i have to take, I quite purposefully have refused narcotics in an attempt to prevent me from losing more of myself than the accident and surgery stole from me. Has anyone else here gone through this? How do you rekindle the flame when you cant seem to get a spark?
I went through and still am going through this. I had a accident in 2021 that has left me disabled and all my creative spark was burnt to a crisp. I am slowly starting to get glimpses at the person I was before. It is hard mentally, psychologically, spiritually. All I can say is I will try and keep fighting for who I want to be and the person my kids deserve.
