  you're a poet so you will always have something to write. love and poetry is in your blood and there isn't a lot you can do about that. powerful work also appears to leave its mark, I congratulate you for words written here in this poem.

    I'm on auto-pilot
    And my tongue's gone silent."

  If you have nothing, then make something. Well played.

    If I hadn't made me, I'd be more inclined to bow...
    
    You should make amends with you..."

  You have memories
  You have regrets
  You have hope
  You have everything you need to write another great poem!

    "I wish I found some better sounds no one's ever heard.
    I wish I had a better voice that sang some better words.
    I wish I found some chords in an order that is new.
    I wish I didn't have to rhyme every time I sang.
    
    I was told when I get older all my fears would shrink,
    But now I'm insecure and I care what people think."

  I wrote "She left" to follow yours.

    Thank you. I like it.
    
    "I only see my goals, I don't believe in failure,
    'Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it major.
    I got my boys with me, at least those in favour
    And if we don't meet before I leave, I hope I'll see you later.
    
    Once I was twenty years old, my story got told,
    I was writing about everything I saw before me.
    Once I was twenty years old..."
