Lacking ideas
Mystified by an inability to think
To create.
Lacking is life's motivator
Without it we would be content
And create.
Lacking fuels our passion
An unquenchable desire to be someone else
Someone creative.

Writing poetry makes me feel incredibly self-conscious. Mainly because it strips away a lot of the bullshit writers can cover their true intentions with. Less words equals less intrepretation equals less confusion. Writing anything other than poetry is just a way of confusing an audience. A way to be vague and mysterious because you are scared of being clear and transparent. 


I wonder if novelists would disagree.
