Doubting Yourself

A random poem I wanted to write.

 

Some words,

They flow so easially,

no pauses, no gaps,

just the magic of writing

They can inspire, or turn the tide

Or simply make you feel what

you haven't in a long while

Other times, on other days

those words you wrote

they seem so fake

as if everything you've worked for

was nothing,

Only a peice of your true talent

Your thoughts revolve around a simple question

Why?

Why am I doing this,

I'm no good,

I'm making a fool of myself

These phrases float around, waiting

for there perfect time to strike

to rip away your drive

and make you abandon what you love best

Still, we write

Write what we believe

what we love

What we think is beautiful,

even if that feeling only lasts for a second

Writing isn't a just a pass time,

it's a Passion

Author's Note

There may be a few grammer mistakes, I just felt like writing something, the music to the song that was on the radio at the time went to perfectly with this. Tell me what you think?

I relate to this very well. Thank God for the people I have, kicking me in the butt all the time to tell me I'm awesome. This is my kick in the butt to you, YOU are awesome. Keep doing what you do. 'To rip away your drive and make you abandon what you love best' wonderful description. I agree, 'writing isn't just a pass time, it's a passion.'

I love this. It perfectly conveys of the emotions so many of us probably feel from time to time about our writing. These feelings are true about anything we try, but the finish tied the poem in to writing alone. The last two lines are a very strong close, a final statement of surity (is that a word?) despite the surfacing doubt. An excellent write. Thank you.

I believe most of us who aspire to write poetry can relate to this. You are right. Sometimes the words do flow like magic. Sometimes they flow like stones. I truly enjoyed this piece. Good write!

"Flow like stones"... I think I'm going to quote that sometime. A very creative little saying that made me do a doubletake when I read it...sorry I just wanted to compliment that and yes I do read other people's reviews...

This is really good and you're right, writing is a passion. it's not just writing about any random thing that comes into your head, you really have to feel it and i'm pretty sure you were feeling it when you wrote this.
