So much left unfinished
When motivation is diminished.
Always start with passion and vigor
Just to stop when it requires rigor.
Many times inspiration spikes
And quickly pen, paper strikes.
Words are tossed around
At a rate that would astound.
But as always the quick pace stops
Smile fades’ and dopamine drops.
Enough with this writing rubbish
We know I’ll never publish.
