No Motivation

In the depths of my mind, a fire burned

But now it’s extinguished, no longer concerned

My drive, once fierce, is now a whisper in the wind

Like a wilted flower, my motivation has thinned


My dreams, once soaring high, are now grounded and still

Like a bird with broken wings, unable to fulfill

Motivation, a distant memory, lost in the haze

Like a forgotten melody, fading with the days


Life’s colors have faded, like a painting gone gray

No inspiration to guide me, no spark to light my way

I’m stuck in this depressive low

And if I’ll get out, I’ll never know


I’m a puzzle missing pieces, incomplete, and unsure

I’m like a book with no ending, my motivation is obscure

I am bent and broken

My mind filled with the things I want to say, now unspoken


Maybe one day I’ll find some way out

Of all this cloud filling my mind with doubt

I’ll rise from the ashes and be on top

I’ll keep trying, and I won’t ever stop

I always struggle with having no motivation, so this poem really relates to me.
