This could have come from

This could have come from my 9th grade journalDo you think it's possible to lose the ability to think original thoughts? Or maybe I just once thought I had original thoughts and the older I get, the less orignial they all seem. All that angsty poetry sure seemed of-the-moment when I was spending my teen years composing it, but I'm sure it was just some horrible recycling mixture of stuff I'd heard and read and stuff I thought a girl my age might write about. The less I write, the less inspired I feel to write, and the more I probably need to write. I have a horrible backlog of shit I have to workthrough in my head to reach any of the good stuff now. But I guess I worry it's not back there at all. Maybe I crushed it to death with all the backlog. Great, I'm just walking around with a big clump of cold-mashed potato thoughts.
