Some call it a talent
I think it a curse
It plagues me as
I write each verse

As each poem's completed
I'm still longing for more 
Maybe perfection 
Is What I long for

They don't know exactly 
How or why
But writing is how
I've learnt to get by

I'm writing and working
Till my criteria is met
And with each word I write 
I learn to forget

You know Tsammy that all great art has come from the periods when the artist is at their lowest emotional state. There are a million examples but take Van Gough as one, his great art only came from a few years when he was at his lowest.Art tends to be an outlet for our frustrations and alienation. It is good if we don't write because it means we are contented in our real lives. Meanwhile writing (and art) are good sublimations for our feelings.
You nail this well!
