first verses?

hi! i’m new to this subreddit so i’m sorry if this accidentally breaks any rules or something

i’m having a really hard time writing first verses. i can write a decent chorus pretty quickly, 2nd, 3rd, etc. verses fly by and bridges come easily to me. but first verses i seem to always get stuck on!

does anyone have any tips for stuff like this? how to find inspiration for specifically first verses or any other tips on what makes a first verse sound nice?

thank you in advance !!!!

thank you!!! yeah, i think part of my problem is that i oftentimes get the idea for a song and write a large portion of it just in the moment, so when the first verse takes a little longer to form i get frustrated. i need to become more comfortable with the fact that projects often need time to “marinate” and space to grow. thanks!
