I Can'T Keep It Up. Poem by Steven Harris

i can't keep it going
once i get something i lose it
if i get good at something i lose it
i don't know why
i don't know how
but it just goes
goes into the night sky and past the moon.

I try to get a style
i try to write what i know
i try to write what i feel
but once i do it goes
lost into the air
even my experiences get lost in the shuffle
i can't keep it up.

Writing about drinking
writing about sex and meeting girls
writing about being bored and late nights
it can't last for so long
i can't keep it up for that long
at some point it will go
ride it's way out into a lost world of creativity
gone into the dust.
