so what if I'm crazy?  at least I have art.
so what if I'm not creative?  at least I'm not crazy.

sometimes the ideas shrivel and abort themselves just after conception, 
leaving an emptiness sometimes too hollow to bear.  it's easier when they 
never come in the first place.

inoculations of depakote, wellbutrin, neurontin, seroquel
muffle the sharpness of the day,
but smother words still growing in the womb.

sometimes I stop
just to feel again, just to be afraid, exuberant, serene, furious.
But mostly, it's just that
I can't take the cries of all the ideas
that never had a chance to be born.
