Creative Coin is here! (and I wrote a dark poem to celebrate)

I have been thinking about the topic of creativity a bit since the launch of [Creative Coin](https://steempeak.com/creativecoin/@creativecoin/creativecoin-whitepaper-1-0) and in some ways I feel like my creativity is failing.  I haven't written much poetry lately, and honestly I haven't written much of anything this year.  There may be a bit of a disconnect in my mind about how I view my creativity though, because I've been doing quite a bit and building many things, perhaps my creativity is just changing mediums.

When I first got to STEEM, I could write some mediocre poetry and perform mental dumping exercises that I suppose you could call "blogging" if you'd like.  After a while my poetry got a bit better and I started writing more cohesive philosophical posts that I'm pretty proud of, but lately I suppose most of my creativity has been focused on creating and building communities and projects.  It's not really a 'better or worse' dynamic, I suppose it's just different.

All of that being said, I'm really happy to be involved with Creative Coin and working with some of my absolutely favorite people.  Am I creative enough to fit in?  Who knows, but comparison is the death of joy and if nothing else, perhaps it'll get me writing a bit more.  To celebrate the launch, I spent some time working on a new piece last night and I'll share it with you all below.  Much love.

Sacrificial offerings must be made,
no goat's blood and virgins, it's all self paid.

Stretching so thin that the blind can see through,
but there are no breaks, only more voodoo.

Treading the floor of this bottomless pit;
Praying for mercy that it all might quit.

Slaving for air, addicted to breathing;
Sense long gone and sanity is leaving.

Trepid existence was made for the blithe;
Living is suffering, but this ain't life.

same. i traded in poetry for longer pieces, not sure if im more creative but i've branched out. you did dabble in gaming which i think takes a more structured creativity, so dont sell yourself short. creativity comes in many forms.
