Inspiration
Inspiration comes in bursts,
Like wildfires in a previously calm forest.
It is honest. It can hurt;
Like maroon sketches upon your wrist.
Are maroon sketches considered inspiration
For pain, or are they a way to
Accustom yourself to the way you may already feel?
Are maroon sketches considered inspiration
For happiness;
A way out of the agony you are too accustomed to?
Are maroon sketches considered inspiration
For numbness,
A mute button for the emotions you can’t accustom to?
The maroon sketches upon my wrist are invisible,
For I have the strength to resist inspiration,
Even if it starts the strongest wildfire in my heart.
