The Only Way I Can Speak

A Block

It's been quite a while since I have had the time,
to sit still with my own thoughts and I've had trouble with the rhyme.
What use to come so natural now is hard to do,
At least the time it takes is longer which makes it hard to get through.
Perhaps its because I have children a girl and a boy
They take up most my time but life is a joy
I've built a family together with the one I love dearly
He has opened up my eyes and I see the world more clearly
Also I have a full time job, so 5 days a week,
I am an executive assistant who has learned other ways to speak
Still I find it best to write out my feelings thoughts and desires
It will always be something that my inner self requires
Poetry though I feel is stuck in a block
I guess it happens when you finally have a family to listen when you talk.
