Compelled to Write

There is a flurry of activity all around me

While I am alone in a corner, typing away on my device furiously

I need to seize this moment, I feel inspired right now

I have to pen down my thoughts, as long as inspiration allows..

*

Prolonged periods of writer’s block I often face

But sometimes, regardless of the time and place

Inspiration strikes me, often taking me by surprise

Providing me with a short window to act on- I’ve realized

That the burst of inspiration does not really last

It implores me to leave everything else and act fast

*

Writing is solitary and unpredictable, and I never know

How effortlessly my thoughts on paper would flow

Here I am, in the midst of a bustling tourist spot

Oblivious of the crowds, focused on my thoughts

*

I am propelled by an urgency to write a verse

Right now that is my focus in this universe
