The Writers Woes
I’m afraid
That I’ve run out of things to write
I’m afraid
That I’ll never be good enough
I’m afraid
That no one will ever read my work
I’m afraid
That I’ll have to give up writing
I’m afraid
That my work will never be appreciated
I’m afraid
That I’ll have nothing to write about
I’m afraid
That my dreams will fall apart
I’m afraid
That I’ll have nothing left to write

Fear is only in the mind. There are billions of things to write about. The world is being ransacked; it is full of people all of whom are different; it is full of motives, lies and intrigue. You have views. Who cares if anybody likes them? If you were on a desert island you’d still write. Creativity is an essential part of being human. If we cease to create we die!
PoojaG
Yeah absolutely agree. Creativity is necessary especially in this day and age when the only thing people seem to care about is money and getting a job.

You just described my fears.

Yeah I think most writers at some point and usually very often feel this way 🙂

Ah fear. It will always be there, but we must learn to master it.
I have said this to myself before and in moments of doubt, i still utter some of these.
PoojaG
Yeah fear is always going to haunt us but we have to find the strength to overcome it and do what we are most afraid of anyway 🙂

This is so true. Even on my blog, I’m scared that I’ll end up without any ideas and I’ll only be doing poetry and poetry only and people will lose interest. This was beautiful I loved it. 😊
PoojaG
Yeah I’m always afraid of that and I guess a lot of writers are too but we just need to look around and realize there’s so much to write 🙂
wavesofawesomeness
Yes that’s so true 😊

I can certainly identity with this piece, though I try not to think of these things. If I dwell on such thoughts for long I could get discouraged, so instead I just keep writing and putting my work out there. The best way to fight fear and insecurities is to combat them within your work 😉
PoojaG
Yeah you are so right! When I think too much about all these negative things it’s hard for me to write and I just get really sad. I guess all we can do is write and hope everything works out! 🙂 🙂
