The Creator Who Doesn't Create

The creator who doesn't create-  
Like death by a thousand paper cuts,
Death by a thousand silences,
Death by all the missed chances.

The singer who doesn't sing-
A song lodged in her throat.
A whisper of defeat before
Success had a chance to grow.

The lover who lost the fight-
The lover who didn't try.
The lover who loved deeply
Without ever letting it show.

The chef that doesn't cook.
The teacher that doesn't teach.
The gardner, the artist, the leader
Giving up before they succeed-

Doubting what they're meant to be.
