DETERMINATION

My creative side’s been squelched again
Soooo frustrating
Seems like every time I turn around,
Something’s come up,
Something’s happened,
Feels like a conspiracy sometimes…
My head keeps spinning with the pace of life:
No time to be still,
No time to play my flute,
No time to write,
No time to “be”,
Always something to do!
The struggle feels monumental.
Still, if there is one thing I am,
It’s persevering… persistent…
Downright stubborn about not giving up
My creative needs
Wedge in a moment here,
A moment there,
A word edgewise every now and then
Until satisfaction tells me I’m finished.
Like I said, squelched or not,
I refuse to give up, dang it!
