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
