Ok, I hesitate to post because I am quite the newbie, plus I dont pretend to be good at poetry, but yes I can relate.
Not to get autobiographical, and skipping a lot of detail not needed, when I was an undergrad at UF, I at least felt that I had to choose writing or medicine. So for about 20 yrs I tried to stamp down the writing part of me. It doesnt stamp down. Day to day it goes on unabated, so I toss these things around in my head until they get written. Even if no one sees them.
So, my firm belief, impossible to prove but I can go on and get close to proof, is it cannot be stopped anyway. You just temporarily altered it.
God knows why you swore off writing, its like saying "Today from hence forth, I will no longer poop". Now you are constipated. Have a big stinky one and then you're cleared out.
