So Many Ideas

Inspiration can hit me so randomly 
They left me alone for a while but now my thoughts want to have a dance with me 
But I'm busy, which means many words, rhymes and thoughts pass my mind 
I have so many ideas right now but a lack of time 

I'm back after a bout of writers block and my head is full of new rhymes
Head overflowing with thoughts I'm trying to write down a few lines
So many ideas floating around but I can't seem to capture them all
Opened up my notebook again but I'm unsure what this chapter is called 

Trying to be original and not write the type of poem others do
But every type of poem has already been wrote, so it's difficult to think of an idea that's new 
dreams of writing something so good that one of my idols would say they're proud of me
All of the hurt inside of my heart, writing gives me the chance to get it out of me

Maybe at times I'm wrong because I write too personal and reveal too much
But If I don't put it down on paper how can I heal this stuff? 
It never goes well if I bottle it up and hold back
I wonder if I've ever wrote something where another poet said "I wish I wrote that" 

So many ideas at the moment but I can't capture them all
I'm unsure what this chapter is called 
But I know I'm going to be up writing all night
Because you have to make the most of it when inspiration strikes
