It’s almost like i’m at a loss for words

Yet ironically i’m writing but it’s gotten worse

like something’s off, it’s just not the same

this was the one thing I had and now I read with shame

 

It’s out there, but am I well expressed

no rhyme or line to explain how damn depressed

i’ve been, or these feelings i’m fighting

Nope, not right, crumble up, keep on writing 

 

I can’t, not even energy for this

And i’ve tried to claim back the motivation that i miss

And at the very least write just a single thought

I can’t find the right words, my brain is in a knot

 

and even i know this poem’s mediocre at best

but it’s one of many struggles i’ve ripped from

my chest

i have to do what i can to regain a little pride

and not let the darkness consume my poetic side
