It is no wonder that no one has commented on this poem. It must be about inspiration but at your attempt at making it as short as possible you have frustrated me to the nth degree. Perhaps you are saying that you have lost inspiration then you find it. L3 "my points" baffles me. The only thing I can suggest is to clarify with a few more well placed words what is going on, especially L3. The footnote baffles me also. People don't comment on this poem because they don't want to look like idiots when you come back and say you poor dumb smuck this is what the poem means. imho

Here is what I have to say:

The poem is boring; I'm sorry it has to be that way; the word choice is just too redundant and far from anything amazing.

However, I think I understand what you are saying:

Sometimes, you are crawling through the dark and you can't find anything to write about and then suddenly it hits you!

Is that right?

Perhaps you wrote it in a cliched fashion on purpose. Because found is such an opposite word when compared to the others (which makes you sound very young), perhaps you are making a parallel to thinking in cliches until suddenly ... it hits you!

I would say that if you possess that capacity, do more!
