What should I write about?

I feel like writing a poem again.

I always thought poetry works best when you write how you feel, especially when it can't be expressed in any other way.

@SW-User But I feel numb. I have an urge to write but don't have words. I thought maybe some suggestions would work.

@SW-User I get that. I've been feeling like that for about 2 weeks now, it's hard when you don't have the words. Maybe try to read other people's poetry, it usually helps with receiving some inspiration.. even if it's indirect.

@SW-User I've been feeling like that for a couple months now :( and longer actually.

@SW-User Did you try to visit past places where you used to get inspiration from?

@SW-User Just a suggestion; When we dream, it is often a memory flash in our brain, Not a real or true place. Yet we can use our senses to introduce our surroundings. We can recall conversations of our past. Remember the emotional ties that we tried to break away from, And most of all feel. Yes we can feel a and touch a memory. So many thoughts we have buried.
Write the story. Plant the seed to watch it grow. Let it come to life. Have it so the reader can FEEL their pain, Allow the reader to want to rush in and relieve this PAIN.

How often have you watched a movie and felt the writer made a huge error on that scene?

@Carla1951 🤗 Thanks for that! I definitely need to work on all the feelings I've suppressed.
