The Creative Process

Some days the poems literally flow Can't hit the keys fast enough Other days the struggle is so immense We find it extremely tough The creative process is a fickle thing It can fill you with so much joy But at times it can drive you insane Your faith it tends to destroy Feels like you'll never ever write again You've used up all your words For the rest of you're life, no more poems They've flown like a flock of birds Then you wake one day, your head overflows Again, you can't type fast enough Crazy is what I call this creative process But love it no matter how tough,
