LOST MOJO

I thought I lost my mojo,
It's like I just misplaced,
Somewhere inside of me,
It was Something I couldn't face.

The illness that I have had,
My train of thought was missing.
Now I find over time,
It's coming back again.

Never thought that I would see,
Poetry that's still inside of me.
So here I go again, Tickling
The ivories of my mind.

I still don't know what's wrong,
Of all that might of been.
But I won't let it define me,
Untill my results are in.

Illness pushed me to the limit,
Suddenly I couldn't write at all.
Now it's slowly coming back,
And I must admit I don't mind,
If it comes back at a crawl.
