Hello.
I'm a beginner
And I wish somebody had told me
that "Hey
starting creative work?
BE WARNED
there is this..."
gap?

The first ambitious still-life
is praised and hailed
"Picasso!"
There goes the dream of doctor
because look
I'VE got
"potential"
who needs to study fractions
"To conjugate this verb..."
"In 1987..."
"Look here! THIS is a nerve..."
Sorry mum
my GPA
never stood a chance.
Hello.
I'm still beginner
at least in my own head
I could not keep on going
the stench of sharpened lead
My work was getting worse
the praise had long since ceased
I could not comprehend
she said
"think about your future"
ripped from my head
nurtured
openly (and secretly)
In my heart.
Hello.
I am still beginner
old and bent and frayed
how come you stopped creating
me?
where have you gone away?
I saw and said
"No good"
They saw and said
" A waste"
How come I stopped creating?
What good could I do?
They said
We all go through this
I had not even a clue
I wish someone HAD told me
I wish someone had said
Don't fret
you have the strength in you
not
Hey, how was that test?
Don't get me wrong
to learn is great
I work to learn
to have food on my plate
But is that all?
Please somebody
say
that I can work to fill my plate
but also work to close this gap
between 3rd grade and today
its normal to take a while
you just have to fight your way through
well great I say
a drawn out sigh
its going to be long day
