As it has come to pass, I am letting anyone reading this trespass.
The following is my first observation concerning my waning motivation.

- - -

Though I dislike whining, I have thoughts that need defining.
Despite my endeavors, the amount of support, admittedly, is ever declining.

Is this even worth the time spent?  I cannot let these feelings relent.
Maybe I am just past my prime; perhaps nobody wants to see me rhyme.

I do not ask for a standing ovation; just, please, look at my deviation.
I may not be on as much as before, but that doesn't mean I don't care anymore.

Silence may be golden, but in that case, I am eternally drowning in gold.
If any readers want me to continue rhyming, I would love to be told.

Placing pixels is another aspect of my fascination; however, I have to share another observation.
Regardless of my love and dedication, I have found another example of my waning motivation.

- - -

The amount of disappointment elevates the effort that is needed to create;
These two forces compound upon me with enough weight to devastate.

My time is limited as of late, which is another factor that I should relate.
The time I spend compared to the time that I waste is yet another bitter taste.

My patience, so vast and ever flexed, is now a feature that leaves me vexed;
How have I dealt with this for so long when I know that I feel this strong?

- - -

At this point I think that I am rambling, so I will cease this literary gambling.
I believe that the title that I chose is sufficient to explain what this poem is and is not about.  I am finally letting some sort of proverbial cat out of the proverbial bag, and it's proving to be quite a feral one.

Feedback is requested, as always, but not expected.  I am not lazy these days so much as I am tired...  soooo very tired.

I know how you feel.

I've been uploading a few poems recently which, I myself am very proud of... However they seem to get absolutely no recognition. No comments, little favourites, and very few views.

Whereas years ago I could churn out something in seconds and it would receive endless attention. 

I love posting all different types of art but it almost seems like it's a wasted effort when no one seems to care ^^'

Personally, I really like this piece though. It says what it needs to and keeps on point whilst still managing to maintain its flow and structure.


I hope the people of deviantart come around once again bring back that sense of community and support I feel we had a while back :nod:
