Free Thoughts – Poem

I’m lying here, trying to keep my fingers busy

Analyzing what to write, getting a little dizzy

Been known in the past to go through periods of blocks

And what comes with that are big breaks and stops

So I’m free-associating my thoughts, going to break through the box

“When you force it, the reader can tell”

But this ain’t for you, it’s for me so what the hell

Don’t have anything profound to say, what a shame

That I feel like I can only write when I can put you on game

Attitude like that comes from years of chasing fame

Have me thinking that I’m some kind of lame

Quality valued over reps, like I don’t have to practice or tame

Learn to value myself and any product will be the same

Just an expression of myself and freedom at best

Take the expectations out back, Old Yeller, put it to rest

Because when it’s all said and done this is the test

Take it easy, hang loose, all in good jest

Don’t worry too much about what will be

And only then will you see, that you can be free

Not by another man, his money, actions, or word

Not by defeating foes through combat and sword

But by learning to celebrate what you do

Even when it’s meaningless, if you love it, it’s serving you
