When I would sit down and type away Following a meter and setting the rhyme Throwing up my emotions onto a screen
I also used to call myself a writer
Back when I used to write and edit and publish for hours Putting plots together and creating characters Sharing my skills for others to enjoy
I once called myself an artist
I would sketch in notebooks and paint in pages Mixing colors and blending into sunsets Putting my thoughts into pictures
I used to call myself a musician
In a time I would create melodies and bend the air Plucking stings along with the beat and bowing to the harmony Singing with my heart in mind
I used to call myself many things
But these days I don't find myself calling me anything Unlike before sonnets no longer bloom in my head Stories don't flow from my fingertips My emotions don't ball up and fall onto paper like they used to I no longer bend the air to create sound
Now I call myself nothing
Creating nothing, saying nothing, doing nothing I am nothing
