Literary Hostage; Steemit Slam #1 Entry

Hello everyone, Iggy back on your feed again! Today I am posting a new (hastily written) poem for @poetrytrail's Steemit Poetry Slam Contest #1 - Leaving. This first contest is based on the theme of leaving in which we writers were allowed to interpret the theme as we saw fit. I chose writers block and the inability of words to leave. So now I leave with you:

Literary Hostage

Words of prose and beauty
Bounce within my head
Describing truth and stories
Of those living and dead

But my pen became rusty
With stacking years of misuse
I no longer write for my sanity
Or to escape self inflicted abuse

And thus rusted the door of mind
Trapped words ever fleeing
To escape the haze inside
But the best words are never leaving
