Psyral, I know exactly what you mean. That's actually why I don't write anymore - I could only manage it when in a, er, chemically induced state. So, I couldn't tell you what my inspiration was usually, but I could tell you where it came from. If that makes sense.
Well, actually, that's only partly true. If only I could find my goddamn poems, I could show it better... But my favorite I wrote, named "Alone", well, I suppose that one's inspiration is self evident from its title. "Remember Me When I'm Gone" I wrote as a letter to my friends and family with the intent to seal it and have it opened upon my death (whenever that ended up being). I then actually adapted/changed it and used it as a eulogy at my grandmother's funeral a couple years ago.
Most of mine came from a dark place within the soul, themed around loneliness, abandonment, the life/death cycle, and pondering the soul itself. Then there were a few which were inspired by anger or hatred, the best of which has been entirely lost to the sands of time (I believe my parents still have a copy, but will not give it to me because of the circumstances surrounding it), and has a LOOOONG story attached to it. I will pester them about it, and see if I can get ahold of a copy - if so, I'll provide it along with the backstory, otherwise the story is irrelevant without the poem.
Long story short, like you Psyral, I once tested at the genius level (albeit 18 years ago, and prior to ~5 years of drugs frying my brain a bit), and have not been able to tap into any form of natural creativity since I was a kid.
So, I guess I wrote all this to reply "Uh, I dunno, @Psyral-infection."
EDIT: Shoulda read the rest of the thread beyond Psyral's post. @Lucem-ferre, that little bit of verse is straight up badass. THAT is the kind of stuff that's right up my alley.

Thanks for the feedback everyone, especially warlock. I get what you mean buy it being forced, it's a bad habit. I appreciate that anyone checked the thread out. btw I just call it poetry cause that's what OCJ_Brendan would call it. Sean law, I'm definitely not this person but dig horror somewhat and decided to write it. I think warlock is right when he says it sounds dated because my biggest influences are from the golden era.And LTB, thank you. I pride myself on my vocab sadly enough.
I forgot about going off about that a bit back...lol Good shit Demented you are quite the high social monitor. Text raps are still just poems though I stand behind it.
