Inspired by

By sole

Flattering in a sense,
This motivational aknolwdgement.
And I do believe
I'm happy to see
That you were inspired by me.

Was it my propensity to keep going
That captivated your emotions?
Does my super human resolve
Help you deal with your problems?

Honestly,
I'm honored to be bestowed
With this coveted compliment.
Though, I'd rather like to know
Why I was chosen to be
So inspiring.

It isn't free.
The cost of these motivations falls on me.
Expensively paid for by this ravaged body.
Your inspiration is my desperation,
So please keep that in consideration.

If I could I would
Trade this gift I give you
With a gift to myself.
The oppurtunity to be well,
And to regain my health.

However, that gift is a wish
Covered in futility.
But I do believe
I'm happy to see
That you were inspired by me.

    Yep, this is a good one. There's something cold and caustic about it, but somehow still thankful... an interesting tone, indeed.

    Wow, this is something I've never thought about. You have a very good point and well said. BTW, thanks for the comment on The Wishing Well. You were dead-on with the true meaning behind the poem. I'm glad to see your intellect is getting good use!

    Inspiration often comes at the most inopportune times..and in the most inconspicuous ways...it is an honour to be an inspiration and the smallest thing can spark the wick of inspiration...loved this...*Vel*

  • A former member wrote: Sometimes being someone's Muse is a curse. Sometimes in the end the expression on their inspired face makes it worth it. Well written. ~Urban Shipwreck~

  • A former member wrote: Inspirations are wonderful no matter where they come from. If only I could find some...or least put my thoughts in some form of order...
