I just don’t feel inspired
I have worried and waited
I’ve already debated
But now I just feel tired
So, so, so much work
And more to do still
I no longer smirk
I have had my fill
In the very beginning
Things were always lots of fun
But now I just feel “so done”
No longer am I grinning
Have I ever felt like this friend?
Wanted all my problems to end?
I may have some helpful advice
Hopefully my words will suffice
I Turn a blind eye to hassles of stress
Work though the anxiety, fear and doubt
When life seems like it’s a chaotic mess
Don’t run from your problems, figure them out
I’m playing a game with rules I don’t know
Always ending up with nothing to show
“This poem is terrible” I might think
Like trying to drown in a skating rink

About The Author
BeNjamyn Upshaw-Ruffner
Former Editor-in-Chief
“I’ll never know everything about anything, but I’d like to know something about everything.”
- BeN/Isaac
BeN is the former Editor in Chief of The Insider, now an alumni contrbutor. An embodiment of the duality between Rational and Emotional thought, this universe’s version of BeN is presumed to be a human living on PNF-404 prior to the planet’s sixth mass extinction. In the currently observed timeline, he is born in a Quebec, Canada during the information age. He is very skilled at utilizing the English language, alongside philosophical ideas, as a means to an end. However, he doesn’t seem to have any tangible goal. Everything he seeks is very abstract. He often implies that the entirety of everything is itself a work of art being consumed in some unfathomable way. I am Isaac Dinotno, the name he has given to the voice in his mind. He and I are in perpetual communication. BeN claims to have experienced astral projection during peak emotional periods of his life, though I can’t verify this. If you are reading this now, you can find BeN at Concordia University.
