Brilliant Insanity

I once tried to be brilliant
To interpret all information
Convey as if I had truly known any of it
But I indeed did not.
I knew nothing but that I was not brilliant
Never to be brilliant educationally anyway
Never to be considered brilliant by society

But the potential of brilliance did not disappear
I wouldn't let go of it that easily
I set out to discover a New type of brilliant
Could it be possible to have brilliance
In a completely and rather insane way
I had not known for sure.
And I would stop at nothing.

And
There,
Then,
That's when it dawned on me
The brilliant I was looking for was not
In books, not in dictionary's, could not be bought
Taught or purchased through any other scheme

No.
Brilliant by creativity


That's what I seek.

This is a cool, rare piece. You have a lot of interesting points, and I think everyone is brilliant in their own way, sometimes it just takes a little more effort for some.

brilliance is like people it comes in every shape size color nationality... and in many forms. Perhaps the most painful things is for a human being to not be able to find out what they are brilliant in. we have so much potential Brittany, but literally millions are stop from reaching it or even for it... glad you found your brilliance in "creativity" pretty cool I'd say.. ~~redzone

Well penned. It had the feel of quest - the hero, seeking a purpose but finding none, eventually finding, through trial and error, their unique way forward. And once they've reached that potential, can they be thought of as anything but brilliant? Well done, Brittney... Keep writing!
