Inspiration Is Perspiration

Inspiration is perspiration

You struggle to connect

You trip over your words

Your mind seems blank

Times are changing

Can't put it into terms

The willingness to except what lies ahead

Chasing after goals

Blindsided by fear

A direction set in stone

Lost I seem

These repetitive days get longer and longer

Stronger I seem

But where's the motivation

Sweating the facts

Chasing this relentless breeze

My legs weary, My eyes wrinkled

Shades of yesterday no longer protected by

Simply put I am not the same

Not sure how to tame me

Want to put the blame on you

By you I mean them

Those deep dark secrets that refuse to fly free.
