An Uninspiring Poem about Inspiration

(Un)inspired

Sometimes things (don’t) go as you hope they will

Lately, I’ve felt so (un)inspired
Everything I write is(n’t) great
I’ll probably end up (never) publishing most of it

I (don’t) love my ideas
My thoughts seem to (cease their) flow
Just like (stagnant) water

My mind is (just not) focused
My heart is (up)set
I’m (not) happy with the way things are

I feel like I can(‘t) do anything!
