creativity eludes me, illusive as a cryptid

a mind depleted and empty

ideas leaving my head, restricted

*

the ability to make rhyme, has my mind feeling conflicted

the effort, a brick wall

creativity eludes me, more illusive than a cryptid

*

like an addict, addicted

over again and again

ideas leaving my head, restricted

*

the desire to succeed, nearly unprecedented

write, erase, then, start again

creativity eludes me, more illusive than a cryptid

*

lying in the dark, feeling a bit disconnected

words float, round’ my head

sanity’s unprotected

*

seeking satisfaction from the creation I’ve depicted

images wrestle for their place

creativity eludes me, illusive as a cryptid

ideas leaving my head, restricted
