Been here before, numerous times, at this point lost count,
Call it a speed bump, call it a trap, length of time spent here vary across the map,
The bane of many a writer, y’all know what it’s all about,
Once again traipsin’ around The Block, driven berserk by the ticking of the clock,
Charged out the gates armed with ideas, stacks of lines and chapters waiting to be written,
On a roll of sorts before Humpty Dumpty had a fall, just can’t make sense of it at all,
Reviewing the battle plan once more, looking for different avenues to cross, hopefully to then piece it all together, to make art from out the rubble,
Alas, it’s no use, dead ends in all directions, no telling how long we’re stuck,
Escape will take patience and, perhaps, a heavy dose of luck,
Thus opens a new fork in the road, no turning back from either option,
To wave the proverbial flag and walk or to grit those teeth and soldier on,
Really comes down to your dedication with this art that you’re creating,
Got something important to say? Maybe bills to pay?
Maybe you’re just passing time through creating, normal life will go unaffected,
If real life depends on it, if the message is worth spreading you’ll find a way to push through,
Been here before, why stop now? Think back to why you’d started, the cliché rings true,
If not then drop it, walk away then begin anew, maybe come back to it later, once time and wisdom brought about with it some answers,
Find a way or an excuse, the rest is up to you,
How bad do you want it? Will you leave or stay stuck in this place? Rise above or be consumed by it? Find a way or walk away? Better ask yourself some questions.
