Discipline in Creativity

I had erroneously assumed that to be creative

In an unstructured environment I needed to live

Where there would be no set schedule to follow

Where I could get into a state of flow

Unfettered by time and life’s never-ending chores

If only I were free, I could write so much more…

*

I could not have been more wrong, later I realized

Creative endeavors needed discipline, to my surprise

Following a structured path and trying to carve for creative expression

Enough time in a disciplined fashion

Was actually what I needed in order to write

With time dedicated to writing, I could keep a goal in sight

*

Of course inspiration can strike any moment

When it does, I file away the idea with the intent

To execute it during my scheduled time to write

This way writer’s block less frequently I fight

*

Even though creativity cannot by time be constrained

To keep creative endeavors alive, discipline should be maintained
