Dead End

Peeling paint off my fingers as

I wait for my canvas to dry.

My growling stomach reminds me

That the fridge is empty.

And there are still bills to be paid.

Staring at this shoebox

I call home, I remember

People telling me I lead my future on

a dead end road.

For following my dreams.

That is the story behind many a painter or poet. Don't let people crush your dreams. Follow your heart and spirit. In my mind it is far better to work on something you love than toil on something you hate. Thank you.

I totally agree. I think especially now in society people are pressured to follow a conventional "successful" path instead of doing something they truly enjoy. Thank you for your comment!

You are welcome and good luck
