Inspriation

Does it come natural or do I dig deep Can I do this when I’m smiling or only when I weep Are ideas always there or unexpected like a thief Are feelings everlasting or can they be brief Is there only right and wrong, black and white Or are gray areas considered to be alright Am I trapped inside a box, bound with shackles and such Rather like Houdini where the limits weren’t much Is there only what’s inside me that can be found Or do I use what I see, what’s all around Only original thoughts that swarm my brain Or do others’ suggestions help me to maintain Should I change the way I think, act, or feel Should I chose to accept it and learn to deal Could this be from a dream where there aren’t any rules Could this be reality where my thoughts are merely tools Things that take action because they speak louder than words Or hidden, silent, private ideas of, well of course, truly yours Always walking in a straight line, directly to my destination Sometimes go in circles overcame by confusion and frustration Am I peaceful, in charge, centered, and eager to please Am I enraged, controlled, off balance, concerned about me Can I be selfless and selfish both at the same time Self preservation, necessity or punishable crime Should I give people my all and run myself thin Should I save it for myself, to help ensure a win Do I find the words or do they find me Is it all of the above, I guess we'll just have to wait and see
