Don'T Force It

Don't force it
  inspiration will be
  on its solemn behest
Don't force it
  wit will not be
  from effort depressed.

Don't force it
  a bird; aloud and clear
  and sweet she sings
Don't force it
  we'll hear an' cheer
  as you strum your strings.

Don't force it
  nor try to supress
  poetry's loud heartbeat
Don't force it
  let it freely express
 genre of its Muse's beat.

Don't force it
  censor or muzzle
  free flow of its cutting gist
Don't force it
  thinking it a puzzle
  or scarecrow in the mist!

You are quite right here. It's much better not to force it. Nicely done. :)
