I am not Creative

Create something creative
I had someone say to me once
Of course
In order to create
You must be creative

A sad day that was
When I fully realized the words
Of course
That in order to create
You must be creative

I shook my head
And wished that I could
Of course
Create something
If only I could be creative

I sat down heavily
At my cluttered desk
Of course
To try to create
You need to be creative

My nimble fingers
Decided to flit across the keys
Of course
To create a story
I have to be creative

The favored delete key
Has kinship with my pinkie
Of course
Failing to create a story
Failing to be creative

With my head held high
I close the document because
Of course
In order to create
You must be creative

Create something creative
I had someone say to me once
Of course
I tried to create
And I was not creative.
