Misshapen

Due to my lack of excessive talent in anything particular, I tend to try out a lot of different things to see if I'll excel at them. I usually end up getting disheartened and quitting.

everyday i take a new shape
writer, musician, athlete,
actor, comedian
but by the end of the day
the neurosis melts it away
leaving the brittle skeleton
of a spineless boy
whose first choice is always

to escape

i don't have to imagine this, i have felt it many times...trying different things and just not succeeding at them enough to keep my interest. that fear of failure can be so overwhelming we just want to sneak out the back door of endeavor and disappear.
