I have written song lyrics but they're collecting dust, leaning more toward fiction. I think part of that is because I can't jam and don't have an instrument beyond my voice. Totally envious of people who can gather and throw something out. There's magic in that!
I love writing poetry too and had a similar problem of being unable to write it unless I was in a dark place or had my heart ripped out. I think in my old age I've learned to channel those places now :)
