For so long that fire burned, hot and sweet

My longest running hobby

Enough writing for me to organize, nice and neat

My burning passion, like wasabi

But lately I've lost my drive, I've been beat

My pen hardly moves at all anymore

Poems and stories once came daily

But now I'm lucky if it's once a week

Six months was all it took to start failing

Sending myself up shit creek

Navigating this mess of words, sailing

I want to keep trying

My hobbies usually never last

So maybe my writing is something special

I feel I'm getting better than I was in the past

Better than the demons with which I used to wrestle

So I'll keep writing, until my works are vast

Maybe the flame will reignite itself, maybe it'll last
