Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost


Always felt that writing was meant to derive solely from talents
No practice, you had to start off as the greatest
Thought I had the skill, but I was a tightroper knocked off balance
"At least I can conjugate!" Darth Vader to Darth Vadest.

An amateur job, but it's the best I can do,
Try hard to impress but you're still underdressed
Like a punch in the throat, it offends you
To ever accept that you're not the best.

Dont tell me I'm good if I'm not
No one succeeds off of a lie
Endless devotion, I give it all that I've got
I can't write but I can darn well try.

After a long stretch of writers block, I started to feel hopeless. Like I was "sucky at writing", as my third grade self might have said. So I wrote these bitter frustrations down; I feel better and more confident now. =)
