I’ve sat here all day,
racking my brain;
with a prompt like this,
I may go insane.
But this is what I’ve been given,
words that will never inspire,
and I’m feeling quite desperate,
might need to conspire.

Writing prompt: Redneck Rodeo and Pink posies
It’s one of those days…
The kind that makes you wonder
About all the things you shouldn’t
And then leaves you feeling weary
I feel bored and uninspired
And the monotonous drivel
Flooding my emotionless mind
Is only making matters worse
The familiar clicking of the clock
Is fueling my hypnotic state
And I think I may just collapse
Under the weight of my excitement

I pray for random words
To fill this void in my head
But as time slowly passes
My thoughts only feel dead
Expired of emotion
So tired of the drill
Inundated with mindless efforts
Without any thrill
Is this the cost of living
For a future unknown
To sit everyday in silence
Completely alone
One day… one day…
It’ll be for the best they insist
Tell me… tell me…
Then why do I still resist?

Words
I’ve used a million
And that’s quite enough
In my opinion
Yet impulse clings
Urging me on
Even when desire
Has all but gone
Motivation
Just won’t relent
Keeps reminding me
I’m not done yet
And so I get up
And off I go
Waiting for inspiration
To commence the flow
Then wretched time
Steps right in
Stalling the words
Just as they begin
I start to wonder
Will I ever finish
Before my words
Do finally diminish
