The Time Is Definitely Nigh 2 Reinvent Myself

I have now become as tired

As my work has grown old 

Nothing no longer anymore now seems

Fresh or in anyway or part new

It almost writes it for itself 

Without even the need of my own help

So if I am getting to the point

Of being bored beyond belief

I can only imagine what other people

Must actually think as well

It's all the same subject matter

Same old words endlessly repeated as well

It's like trying to make and back up

A second album after the first

Finding everything you write

Sounds exactly like something

You have written already

And worst of all

No better

Merely just a carbon copy 

Which anyone definitely can tell

And you yourself can't possibly sell

Let alone to yourself

Tired simply out and devoid of ideas

Only second time out of asking

Stale burnt out already

Having to pretend and make believe

You are a gifted artist and performer

Praying and hoping they won't know

Until and the magic returns and so inspires

Your muse again 

Otherwise if it unfortunately doesn't

You are forever destined to be

A one hit wonder 

Who will barely be remembered

Until you hopefully come back in fashion

On the revival circuit
