Achy Hands

When I don’t know what to write
I feel my hand aching to move and
my heart begging to be heard
but the words don’t flow,
my hand feels stuck,
and my heart is
left alone.

Everything feels so heavy.
My head has hurt for days
My eyes have tears that won’t fall.
They want to, but they can’t.
They won’t.

suppose that your title is alright, it brought me in.
I have achy hands myself. I read the poem and by the time I was done,
I had to look at the title again! So your title did its' job.

Your language use is good too, easy to understand and well used.
I like the theme, it shows that people hurt, even as they say
"I'm alright, Don't worry, I'm fine".

It began well, there was a smooth transition from there to an ending
that says The writer won't be fine, but will hold back and people
will say, "It's done!" Good job, I believed every word! ~ Geezer.

There is value to commenting and critique, tell us how you feel about our work.
This must be the place, 'cause there ain't no place like this place anywhere near this place.

I'm glad the title pulled you in just enough. Thanks for the feedback!

dislike it when words go stubborn so my hands go "itchy"
I can relate.
Thank you for sharing Kristen.
