ugh 2.0

I went to a poetry open mic tonight with Cody, Eric, and Jaclyn in Portsmouth. I'm always so impressed with Cody. He showed me some of his songs after and it's overwhelming how talented he is.
On the way home I was explaining to Jaclyn that I'm pretty discouraged about writing/playing music again. I've been having such a hard time trying to write new songs and the songs I've written, I'm beginning to hate. It felt good talking to Cody and Eric about it because they are having similar feelings but I feel disgusted when I think about what I've done. I don't want to be like those people reading the same thing over and over by so many other people before them. Same rhythm, same structure. Over and over. Claiming to be original, just reciting nothing. Tired and used. I'm so worried about falling into that. But it's hard not to. Complacency and arrogance.
