Poetry

Staring

Written by Jacob Ibrag

Structured nonsense. Reading

the same sentence. Praying for it to let

you in. It doesn’t though, and you pound

your fists. Middle knuckle bleeds yet you

can’t feel it. Staring at the ink. Waiting.

Over the years Eyes + Words has turned into a wonderful budding family of over fifteen thousand people across all platforms. It’s surreal and humbling to know that the art of poetry and story is alive and thriving. That being said, I hope that the creation of the Eyes + Words Writers Group serves as a vehicle and launch pad to help and support writers and the aspiring ones to keep manifesting words that many out there are searching for everyday. So go on and contribute, lets elevate together. Everyone is encouraged to share their experiences with anything involving writing.

    The process of writing in itself… isn’t it this?

    The frustration is palpable in this. Wonderfully penned.

    Interesting, how we sometimes keep on, doing the same things, over, over, and over again, and expect different results…

    I can’t tell you how relevant this feels right now.
