The Failed Poet
This Is Me At This Very Moment
I have poems to write and stories to write but have been having a bad week.
I need to do this to purge my feelings and am going to share "To Win Just Once" by The Saw Doctors. "Same Oul' Town" is a gorgeous album and was playing as I put these words down feeling like a failed poet.
I know I Am Not, thanks to the empathy and love of my Vocal Friends and Audience. You Know who you are.

I Want To Write A Poem
But I Just Canโt Make It Rhyme
Yes I Know The Words Will Come
But I Fail Every Time

The Words Aswirl In My Head
And The Wrong Ones Still Fall Out
This Storyโs A Broken Thread
A Failed Poet Full Of Doubt

Yes I Have A Thousand Words
None of Them Will Eโer Be Heard
Sheets Of Vellum Still Are Blank
Ideas Don The Drain Sank
It Happens Every Time
Poet Fails I Cannot Rhyme

A horrible feeling my friend. I know from experience.
I heat ya. Somedays you just don't have. Maybe just scream a d write whatever cones out.
Sometimes I feel like Iโm a failed writer because I have a harder time with it than I used to. I used to be able to write for hours. The creativity never ended. Now itโs more difficult for me. I blame adulthood.
