Crimsin's Fight

     
you always know    
when I'm writing crap    
but what you don't understand    
is that I have to push myself    
when I sink into a depression    
     
I immerse myself in poetry    
even when it's aborted      
me from its pages    
     
I've stopped writing all together    
& completely shut down    
in times past      
so I force myself      
to keep getting up    
when I would just lie in bed    
     
I make myself pick up the pen    
even if it's pure uninspired scribbles    
we all reach for deep inspiration    
& I have my share of those moments    
     
creating for me is so much more    
than all that    
it's a way to escape myself    
my life    
     
though so often my ink    
mirrors my thoughts    
screams at me      
"get up bitch & do something!"    
I can't contain it then    
     
my alter ego Crimsin    
she is fierce when I'm not    
she fights for me when I can't    
will go ten rounds      
with the meanest bloke    
& come out champion    
     
grateful to her this morning    
for being in my corner    
with ammonia to the face    
"wake up cunt & make the day worth it!"
