Lacking

As I watched myself sink deeper into the state of insanity

I told myself I would climb out of this rut and find sanctity 

in the stories that I write and the words I often mumble

to save myself from this train wreck 

of broken tracks

concrete cracks

and the pity compliments that I humbly accept.

And as I told myself many times before

this is a repetition of old plots washed ashore

and even as I write, my head continued to whisper

"You won't find sanctuary in the talent that you lack."

Whether you lack a talent or not does not mean that you can't still enjoy doing whatever it is(in this case I would assume it is writing). If you like to write then I think you should do just that. A nice write, made me think a bit.
