Sickness Develops Creativity

How a simple cold can heal your creativity rut

It's funny how ideas flow through the air
when you are staring at the ceiling
healing from the aching pain
illness woes, and other remains
that will drive you insane
But madmen are growing
Time heals with your body
Your mind embraces reflect
It's a subtle peaceful state
that will help motivate
the right frame of guidance
to create that tune
to recite that song
to write that hit
to become the best poet
but with situations, dire consequences
can be a burden on accomplishments
Should you enable your test of willpower
or fall in the ashes of hopelessness and non fanfare
triumph is the words that should be uttered
as you crawl out of that bed
and go ahead to create that next masterpiece
It's time but do you see it at the very moment
or each second shall be wasted staring at the ceiling
appealing the idea of defeating the beast called illness

About the Creator

Thomas Benson

A dreamer that decided to one day become a writer, because why not? Poetry has always been a big part of me, so I might as well kick it up a notch. One day I want to travel with such a gift. I also love koalas and coffee on cool fall day.
