A Cliché Complaint

Do you ever feel this way?

My creativity is snatched from me by prior competition.

For the imagination of preceding persons, and currently presiding souls is overwhelming. 

The incapability of creating a piece that contains utter originality is frustrating, 

no. . .unfeasible. 

I am sure even a complaint such as this has already been claimed by a previous mind.

Nothing is solely mine!

They steal the very spark of thought from me, oh how jealous I am! 

Can I reap nothing from my pondering toils? 

Can I have no ingenuity, no source of pride? 

I would have to burn a hundred books to summon a single novel concept into this world. 

For anything I produce is inadequate.
Embarrassing.

Cliché.

Amen! Everything has been done before...every time I go to write something it just ends up sounding unintentionally like I'm scamming off some other story. You can genuinely come up with a plot you think is new and a few Googles later it really isn't so new any more.
It's a shame...but still, everyone has a different take on something so it might be worth the work =)
Relatable piece of work you've created and, ironically, I've never seen a piece on this topic before. So congrats xD

I just started on Writer's Cafe last week so you are the first person to comment on any of my pieces, thank you! I'm glad that every person writes in a different way, even if it is on similar subjects ;)

I feel honoured to be your first reviewer haha! =) Though you're new here I can tell you're certainly not new to writing...this piece is too well finished for a newbie xD
Me too...hurrah for individuality ^^
