PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

My creativity comes and dies in waves. 

I have longed to complete these stories and finish the book,

which is now been sitting for 7 years. 

I get that I am busy, 

and don't have a lot of time. 

But that is only the initial issue. 

My true issue, 

is no-one beleives in my work. 

I am supposed to put everything 

on the back burner for my family.

But somehow I can't carve out anytime

for myself.

The one who should beleive in me, doesn't.

She was supposed to edit my book,

but she says it won't go anywhere.

It's not a matter of going anywhere,

it's a matter of finishing what I started.

It needs help and I want to revive this creation. 

It needs new breath. 

But how do I finish something

when there is no support?

I must do this on my own,

and there is no drive to finish

when your partner doesn't back you. 

I must finish it somehow.

I need to find the willingness 

to complete. 

I don't want it to be forgotten.

Because that will be its fate should

I do nothing.

It would become a worthless file 

on a USB stick. 

It needs to be more than that.

More than just memory.
