Self-Discovery

(it's been a while since i've posted. for the past month or so, i've been feeling down in the dumps as a music producer/writer...so i'm taking this time to let out how i feel)

"I am a poet, a musician, and a lyricist," how often do you hear of this?
I gaze within and call myself a hypocrite.
If I tell others to write and I don't, if I don't abide by the quote, what makes me so significant or different?

I ask myself, where lies the impor-tance? Am I a poet or a lyricist just 'cause I know what a meta-phor is?
Or maybe a simile? A musician because I sim-p-ly understand the system of grand staff's and rhythms without difficulty?

There's more than just knowledge of the motions and actions.
I am who I am because in my heart for the art I hold a passion...
For in my hands, I can turn turn a pen into a javelin, wearing a sword and shield, I am transformed into a champion.
But even champions drop the ball and tend to fall, and if you wonder at all, you ask yourself "how could this have happened?"

Inspiration I lacked and motivation barely supported my back, though I tried and tried with my efforts and ac-tions, I felt so weak. For through music I was mute and could not speak. For days, for weeks, for over a month and that was the peak.

However, I made the discovery, that growth came with every recovery, so one failure should never ever be governing the rest of life. So as long as I can pick up a mic, or pen to write, then I will spill my insight...

I will fall, but I will rise, and that's my plan.
Write? Make music? That I can't do.
But with inspiration and motivation...
"I can..."
