Inspiration

By Adrienne Hill

Can anyone become inspired to write?

Under which frame of mind, I ask?

Things cannot be made up

But it’s all so clear in my mind

I want to be truly inspired

Not just a hapless wanna be

Oh God! Please help me.

As I sit here in the dark

It sickens me to believe

Why wont the words just come to me

Surrounded by darkness

And yet I can only see the light

A perfect world. A perfect flight.

Is there such thing?

I felt it!

I swear!

There are no words to compare

The immense feeling of total, complete….

Tranquility

Do I feel inspired?

Right now, I’d say I am

The stars are one with me

And yet, I feel so alone even with my friends, you see

But friends like you I truly don’t need.

Can anyone see?

Do I feel inspired?

Not really, possibly? maybe?

Is there something abnormally wrong with me?

I want the sensation back

Everything was perfect for a split second.

It was a feeling like no other.

I wanted to cry.

I did cry.

But like a vamp, I ran from the light

When will I ever learn?

Do I feel inspired?

No! Not really! No!

What are you stupid,

Have your fun, forget about them and leave

They are not your friends, I am.

Trust me, I say

I’ll get you far, love me

Sometimes I feel like I can talk to God

And carry on conversations without ever saying a word.

Do I feel inspired?

Well…. No! Not really! No!

I’m convinced that every great writer, poet and inventor

Found inspiration under unusual circumstance,

Stumbling onto masterpieces by fluke and chance.

Do I feel inspired …………

Just wait, someday, you’ll see, I will be.
