I've lost my motivation.
I've lost the absolute love for writing.
I try to come up with a great chapter
maybe even a great word.
But I've lost the ability to do so.
No words, no characters.
Nothing comes to mind.
What was once my favorite hobby
had now become an impossible chore
I struggle and get the urge to quit
but I know I can't do such a thing.
It is my duty to myself and those that have encouraged me
to continue through this project
So I do just that,
my blood pressure rising with each failed idea.
Failure begins to look like a familiar friend
when suddenly the metaphoric light bulb goes off.
The perfect way to continue
the absolute best combination of words.
My pen races across the white spaces
the way a horse would across a race track.
Every letter, comma, and period placed in the perfect spot.
I can't stop writing, I don't want to stop.
It was fun again, thrilling even.
My previous thought of giving up and failing had been dashed away.
What was temporarily lost had been found once again.
