What Does Writing Feel Like Right Now?

So, this is a pessimistic poem. If you have negative thoughts on pessimism, please don't be too affected. 

....................................

I can feel the words, 

I can hear their breathing

but I can't touch them

or create them as I'm writing

.

Everything's a huge blur,

you know?

It's easy to press the pen

against the paper,

yet hard to make

the letters alive

I try to see,

yet I can't seem

to write for my life

.

I don't know where

my voice comes from

When I create a story it pops up

or disappears at random

Is it lost, or is it dead?

Are the words preparing 

to wither ahead?

.

I may feel the breathing of words

but only ever so slightly,

I may hear their echoes

yet only faintly

.

I cling to them but they escape

the distance a tremendous bit

They fade and die

The paper is still blank white

.

I crawl to the corner

in a dying breath

catching the words

as they fall from my head

and I realize as I look up

There are far more better than me...

I give up!

................

Too pessimistic, right? I told you.

I really love this poem! I've learned form personal experience that you truly have to feel the emotions swarm your heart in order to write a poem passionately. Well, there is a lot of passion in this. I absolutely adore the order, form, and meaning. Thanks for an awesome read!

Thank you for this lovely review on my old poem! It's nice to look back :D

Hey MemoryHunter! Rolling again. What a nice work! Great job. I could really relate through this.

You're becoming a better writer. From good, to better, and I'm waiting for your highest might to entertain readers around the world by writing fantastic works with fantastic words. Why are you just soooo good, dear?

I'm also here to have an advice so that you could be better than better. Maybe you should try to renew some ideas because some are just so common. Don't get me wrong but, I still love your works, really. A little twist was more than interesting. Just enjoy writing, baby :) Continue to grow as a writer.

Heya Memoryhunter! Matthew here for a review!
Okay, first off, this is a pretty good poem. Good structure(for the most part,)no spelling errors, and it's relate-able to be honest!
Okay, now, secondly, I do have to critique a couple of things.
First off- the flow of it. In some spots, it was spot on. The lines flowed together. Yet, in other sentences, it cut off to early on the last lines, and was too long on the first lines.
Secondly, I don't think it was supposed to rhyme, and I respect and like that. But, in a couple of lines, it did rhyme, then didn't keep the scheme up. I mean, it was a good thing, but still something that caught my eye.
Then, thirdly, I loved how I could relate to this. Honestly, it struck home.
My favorite lines from this have to be,"I crawl to the corner

in a dying breath

catching the words

as they fall from my head."
For some reason, I really loved these lines.
Anyway, I think you are an EXTREMELY good writer, and I look forward to seeing some more of your stuff!
Sincerely- MatthewAaron.

Thank you so much for your review :)

No problem, anytime you need one just holler at me!
