Literature Text

It is painful at times,
Seeing those born with skill and talent.

They paint such beautiful things, using the barest of material.
Entire worlds are spun at their fingertips, all from a dot of paint.

I think sometimes, of how nice it must be,
To be able to capture such beauty, within the borders of a page.
To spin a tale from but the smallest of phrases,
To create a fantastic adventure from a mundane experience.

It is painful indeed at times. When I am seated in this room,
Surrounded by the dull hum of failure and regret,
I ask myself, with eyes burning in the mirror,
Am I finally ready to give it all up?

'No!' I say

I will not let it end this way!
Not without a fight, not until I know that I am utterly broken.

The good lord may have blessed you with talent my friend,
He has given you everything that I could have ever desired...

But there is one thing that I have earned;
One little gift that remains my own.

You would not know of it,
Since you have never felt it,
And that is the pain of being a loser.





Piece 5 of the Creative Rush.

Sometimes you see the works of the other people and you're just mindblown at how incredible they are. It's even worse when they're basically the same age as you. I'm all like...screw that I'm not even on the same level.

It hurts, but I guess that's why we keep trying, even if we look uncool at present. I want to believe that even if I am a loser now, some day I will be recognised for my effort. It's hard and you just take the small bits of recognition as they come, but in the end that'll take you somewhere. It's all about how much you're willing to put in and how many times you're willing to put it down to pick up a distraction.

Overcoming talent isn't easy, but I'm definitely going to try simply so I can see what it feels like to really stand out there with the greats :3.
