The artist

I've always wanted to be an artist,
So much brilliance could be created
Through my own, patient practice.
But I'm a misfit and frustrated.

The canvas mocks me, almost empty,
A void that mirrors my own soul.
To birth a world, so rich and tempting,
Is far beyond my weak control.

I wanted to sound like all those singers,
I've written poetry, a lot.
But my throat constricts and lingers
Each time I try to hit a note.

So I create another music,
With shattered dreams and splintered pride.
The rhythm's raw, the tone's abusive —
It's where my broken parts reside.
