I can feel it coming on
Inspiration at its worst
All it ever serves to do
Is to confuse me I feel cursed
By this absolution
This feeling of strangulation
Only one shaded path is right
And I've deviated so far from the light
I can only comprehend
What is beat into my head
But even then it takes some time
To understand what is said
I don't know how I can get
Away from responsibility
They let me be so careless
This is my disability
I try to reverse my actions
Make my past look clean
Sweep my mistakes under the rug
Where they won't be seen
But I know that they're there
I can feel it in my skin
Crawling beneath the surface
I need to cleanse within
And this is inspiration
My life in a glance
And I try to run away from this
But know I haven't a chance
Instigate the inspiration

I only know myself...and even that I don't know well.

If you can stay away from the darken rooms and pallor it will help.

Ripping the guts out of yourselves to write hits you on a lot of levels and there is always some idiot to force you underground because you are not allowed to smack them.

Take your gift as a skill - it is nothing less.
Exercise your brain whilst someone else uses their's in lieu of a spade or shovel depending upon country and technique.

Understand the barriers:

Someone might read your words.
Someone might believe that you can only write from personal knowledge and have therefore suffered everything you ever write about.
Someone might consider you have talent - the most worrying thing of all because they will only look at you as a means of enriching them and stitch you up and sacrifice you and con you.

Welcome to the everything.

I completely know exactly where you are coming from. Sometimes it helps to learn from what mistakes you made, and to let go of the passed. I have a hard time doing that myself, though. Great poem!!

Yeah...thanks. It's just how i feel sometimes. Sometimes I hate to read what I write because it can be so painful.
And Dave...I don't know that I completely comprehend what you were trying to say....?

When you twist around to see the past you're missing your chance to glimpse the future.
