Can’t write;
The words never come.

Can’t speak;
Nothing comes to mind.

Can’t think;
There’s nothing new.

Can’t create;
Inspiration is gone.

Great poem, my thoughts exactly. I loved the last little bit:

Can’t create;

Inspiration is gone.


because sometimes there isn't any inspiration.

I like it and it flows quite nice. I like the shortness and it is creative. However, the line

Inspiration is gone.


seems a bit too long syllable rise and I would shorten it by 1 or 2. Otherwise, it is great.

} Maybe switch the second lines in these two?

Can’t think;

Other than that... it was quite good.

See the world. It's more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories. Ask for no guarantees, ask for no security.
