My Brain's Too Damned Loud

Dedicated to my Muse, RiverMaya

My brain’s too damned loud,
My ideas far too many!
Character creation is easy,
But not story incentive.

Do they strive for love?
Do they strive for redemption?
Do they strive for companionship?
What’s the story’s intention?

So many good beginnings in the stories I’ve planned,
But good endings, they task me, they drive me quite mad.
My styles can vary, from lighthearted to dark,
But satisfying conclusions remain an elusive mark.

I could try writing noir-style, stories that end in despair;
Emotional devastation, a living nightmare
I’m sure I’d enjoy it, but would readers be the same?
Do I even want this genre attached to my pen-name?

In the end, I want readers to feel good when a story is done;
But real life includes losing, races not always won.
Maybe that’s the point, though, people read to escape,
So I’ll keep my stories focused on positive fates.
