At least I had it at one time— The ability to make pretty words flow and rhyme Not only that Those words were sincere Genuine uprootings of feelings made clear Whether the emotion be happiness or fear You can count on the fact that they were true projections Yes I write simple now Maybe that’s okay I was lucky, I was good At bleeding out all the emotions I could Feel, but now replacing it is fear Of not writing a good enough poem for my virtual peers That is where the trouble lies If I write for others, that’s where the bleeding subsides Perhaps my poetry has been tainted by my pride Or worse, perhaps it acts as a block from the right Words that I have so been longing to find That’ll do it Pride can **** the flow alright.

Damming the Flow
At least I had it at one time— The ability to make pretty words flow and rhyme Not only that Those words were sincere Genuine uprootings of feelings made clear Whether the emotion be happiness or fear You can count on the fact that they were true projections Yes I write simple now Maybe that’s okay I was lucky, I was good At bleeding out all the emotions I could Feel, but now replacing it is fear Of not writing a good enough poem for my virtual peers That is where the trouble lies If I write for others, that’s where the bleeding subsides Perhaps my poetry has been tainted by my pride Or worse, perhaps it acts as a block from the right Words that I have so been longing to find That’ll do it Pride can **** the flow alright.
