waiting

insecurities


Here i sit

A blank notebook in my lap

Waiting with a pen in hand

The whiteness of canvas-like page a challenge

Do i draw? Do i write?

"Are you good enough?"

I watch and watch

I strain my imperfect eyes

For something to happen

Did i miss something?

For neurons to fire and

"Catch one good thing. One good idea"

For images to appear

To turn into a painting, with word or color

Something good and

With beauty that can justify life

Something worthy

To leave behind

Something presentable

With my name as a footnote

Just a bit of color

Even if it lasts only for a second

To lighten this ever graying world
