I am a writer
No I’m not.

I am an artist
I just imitate.

I think
And I dream
That is all.

And I am not perfect
must. let. that. go.

every

day

I think I enjoy the effort it takes

hard work
long hours
time passing to reveal change

not superficial
but deep-seeded

all will be revealed

in time

what I want to be
will it ever match
what I can become?

supernatural talent.
a gift.

prove myself to me.
to you.

things that move us to work.
hard.

these are outlets of passion that well up from within – all gifts

questions
What do I really believe?

I try to be a writer.
Yet I’m afraid to try to be anything
Its easier to be no one
because then everyone expects nothing from you.

Until I realize that I care.
About hard work.
Effort.
Training.
Practicing.
I can even enjoy it.

using what I’ve been given
That is all it is.

A raw talent
Nor a skill
I cannot take credit for it.

all outlets
all experiences.
all tapping into the source of all joy.
all passion.
all talents

a voice
a dance

Do it well
and I will experience the real you
as you do

Shall I reveal myself as well?
