forced writing

 
 
 
 
    would rather not take a philosophical stance; would rather not word play around a page for days;  
 
 
      expression's like a dance; to give some color to one's grey;  
 
 
    today this feels forced; one needs a mental break; though one has to run this writing coarse, like weathering a marathon race;  
 
 
because writing's all there is, when all else seems to weigh; when you're asked how you're doing-one knowing damn well not ok....
