Struggling for significance

You rack your brains
And chant to yourself
'I must have something
Important to say'

You stay up late
And
Well
You know
You always did that anyway

You try exercises
Words come out
You declare 'See
Persistence does pay'

But the words
Are not great
You howl
'Why does nothing ever go my way?'

You never
Not once
Think
'Maybe my talents lie elsewhere'
Your self-belief is strong
That much I will say
