Curse my head

And write a bit
Then two lines in
The words won’t fit...

I aspired to be inspired,  
So I labored all the day. 
No inspiration--just perspiration,  
I guess I'd better use the spray...

He once lived an uninspired life
his palette a muted black and white….
until she came and filled his world
with color…
overnight....

Feeling uninspired
Walking the mire
Out of my bones
From drugs at last
Sickle not seen
Or ivory cast
Baby I’m blessed
You I will not get past...

I sat, uninspired, in my condo. 
When on TV, no routine John Doe 
Flew above a balloon 
And then over the moon, 
That amazing pole vaulter, Mondo....

Depleted?
Defeated?
Tired?
Uninspired?
Change it up.
Do something new.
Be someone new.
Take risks.
Your attitude
And your mood
Are up to you....

Patriot
Proud, Duty-bound
Serving, respecting, leading
Soldier, military, goal-less, uninspired
Struggling, sleeping, surviving
Apathetic, Bored
Sloth...

There once was a poet so tired
She tried writing though quite uninspired.
	She rubbed eyes and she yawned
	‘Til it finally dawned
On her – she lacked the spark she required....

My muse lays sleeping
ignoring my pleas to wake
wanting only to keep dreaming.

But I cannot see those dreams!

I wanted my muse to dance with me
but I was just handed a bouquet
of artificial flowers.

Now what am I supposed to do with that!

I used to be vibrant
Cheerful
Passionate
About life
Love
And poetry
Now I feel stagnant
Uninspired
Immobile
Unwilling to write
Lifeless
Caged
Procrastinating.
I miss the old me.
I miss how I used to be....

Wasting time being silent. 

Wasting time being chaotic. 

Until I am so tired that I feel uninspired again. 

And guilty. 

As many ideas that I have. 

There are just as many smiles that will never be shared....

if we mixed
an unmotivated being with a motivated being,
the inspired soul with an uninspired soul, 
the whole city would burn
and it just might burn
it oozes 
the fires of love
and our camouflages will be no more...

Uninspired
          Undesired
           Unadmired
Unstable, unable, unemployed
   Unbelieved, unbelieving
   Unachieved, unachieving
     All this - Undisputed
     But was he Unhappy?
   Now that he's no longer
          Unknown?...

I am tired but I’m wired
So I must complete this verse.
It’s a need that I’ve acquired
And for needs, it could be worse.

There’s so much that has transpired
I have many poems to write
But, though I’m not uninspired,
I just have to say good night....

Terror, joy, heartbreak, and sadness
Push our souls to the edge of madness.
We strive for happiness,
But fail into gloom.
Are we coming closer to our doom?
Withheld and withdrawn,
Our feelings are gone.
Unentertained and uninspired,
by the end of the day our hearts are tired....

Uninspired, yet I sit and write
Wondering what to say
I pour my heart into my words
And think of yesterday

Birds chirping, gentle breeze
Feeling calm, soul at ease
Free to do as I please

Peace Acquired
Uninspired

A void
A vacuum
I am an empty space and unyielding
Barren and dry
A word desert
A vulture lands and picks at 
a dead sentence
The clouds of a brainstorm
hover and shrink in the distance
And the air is stale with the unimaginative
I can tell that nothing good 
will be written tonight...

Marilin
Atypical, earnest, impetuous, obscure
Mother of Kasheem, Shakeem, Rayshawn, & Heavenly
Lover of motherhood, knowledge, and truth  
Who feels compassion,  lost, and uninspired 
Who fears life, rats, and trusting 
Who would like to see hope, harmony, and healing for all
