In my mind are the words to solve the most complex riddles,
the most perplexing questions.
If only I could find a way to arrange them in some legible sense.
Yes,
intense,
but nonetheless I struggle.
Bumbling fool with my words.
Its absurd how I manage to mangle the simplest terms.
Fumbling round and about in a daze,
as if seeking an exit to a literal maze.
I am not a writer.
Nor am I a muse.
My mind full of knowledge and words I cant use.
How I long to inspire the poet in you,
and prove to you writing is just something I do.
But I struggle and ponder just why is it that I
feel that using that title would be kin to a lie?
I seek and I scramble for words that aren't there,
till I'm blue in the face and I'm pulling out hair.
I know there's a word that I wanted to use,
and I think that I thought it but after review,
to decide to seduce you with words you cant see
would be rather disdainful and callous of me.
I desire to arm you in a literal sense.
Instigate composition,
at my wisdom's expense.
My vast recollections and grammatical airs,
ineffectually futile like falling upstairs.
Ironically helping is all that I wish.
Yet I cant seem to exclude these thoughts and dismiss
the fact that I am not a writer,
nor am I a muse.
The words simply taunt me,
and end up misused.

That opening statement about solving the world's problems rings so true for me as well. I have ideas about what needs to be changed but conviction and authority as well as words are very elusive. And doubts around every corner: what am I missing? it can't be that simple! i'm not here to judge things.
I'm looking forward to exploring your writing and meeting at Medici U, perhaps. Pay.
Sorry for not stepping out of my own head to respond sooner Pay.
I think more and more people feel that way (solving the worlds problems) and honestly just don't know how or now even why fix things. Why try at this point? We humans are so set in our ways. Things will end up the same won't they?
Glad.
