You’re one of those people who sketch out a map to paradise and then feed it to the hungry maw of their paper shredders
just because they feel lost today.
I’ll make you believe in a tomorrow and then we’ll hack our way out of the jungle when the sun comes up.

You’re like a goddess whose mirror is blurred, and unable to recognize the strange-faced beauty shining back, you throw it away.
Did you know that the canvas of the Mona Lisa was painted with several other portraits before the last? And do you think Leonardo ever regretted covering them up?

You’re like an artist with the way you’re never ‘good’ enough. No one ever knows which comes first, the troubled souls or the need to paint and type and scream them out, but every genius I’ve ever known has been a bit unsteady on their feet.

oh no. i'm going through old stuff and submitting it. someone stop meeee!

i didn't really like this when i wrote it, figured it woudl be a scrap if i ever got around to submitting it, but i think as inelegant as it is, its message should be read.

you know, i wrote this for someone (someones?) but there are too many to name. but you know how superamazingfantastic people tend to post things you positively adore and then are all 'oh i suck at life ignore this art' and it just makes you shake your head.

Yeah, I know the feeling of "I suck at this" way too well.

"Oh, wherever men of my sort used to go, long ago. Wandering on paths that other men have not seen. Behind the sky. On the other side of the rain."

This is my FAVORITE line! : "but every genius I’ve ever known has been a bit unsteady on their feet." it was just perfect *siiigh* marvelous as always.

I think the first verse could stand on its own.

...hope in but a grain of sand, is still hope.

With you, I'd like to share...

I agree, the first paraverse is brilliant of itself.

I've gone with paraverse as this is prosetry!
