Finding My Voice

What happened to my poetic abilities? I think they've disappeared. [Dramatic Vador-esque "noooo"] Is it because I'm happy? Can't be.

I miss being able to write well. Since I learned to write for classes, I've lost my voice. Now I feel like I'm all about structure or the rules (which I sometimes prefer to break anyway) to actually have any real eloquence or interesting voice. Listening to various music this morning, I remembered how annoyed and unsatisfied I am with my own poems and/or lyric writing. I can't really seem to dig deep enough to say what I need to say. [Funny image of a friend chiming in with John Mayer's "Say what you need to say"] I have plenty of inspiration...I mean seriously. Take a look outside or on the news and you'll see that there's plenty of inspiration to go around. I'm going to start working on my creative abilities as a writer again. Yessiree.
