Visionary

Thoughts are mixed, mashed

Undesirable

I am panicked, amused

Constantly -->

This heat, too hot

I wish upon practicality

but see no stars for

Doctors, Lawyers.

Shall I wish to stop wishing?

This must not be a place for

Dreamers

I need no proof, except that the

empty space

(on the right)

Is threatening.

A world of endless possibilities

A mind to imagine them

A hand to explore them

And we 

are threatened?

By novelty?

"The new is improved!"

By reincarnation?

"We're limited to improvement"

By decision?

"Apathy is death"

By indecision?

"The open-minded thrive!"

By society?

They're six billion limited-editions of you

By yourself?

I can see why.

We're just doin' what we do.

The empty space is yours,

Life's endless gift to each of us.

So, pick up a pen; do what you do.

Make it complicated, or make it a 

Cookie.

Breathe, learn, and draw.

Listen and give.

Just do what you do.

Because you're perfect, beautiful 

and

I love you.

Inspiring!
really, i used to be so obsessed with blank white space, thank you for taking me back to that. Wonderfully written, so many good lines.

I hope you'll forgive my language miss but this was just f*****g powerful. Electric and inventive, shockingly original. Filled to the brim with the atomic individualistic creative fire that is the sign of a real artist. Thank you for sharing this. This is going into my library too:)

wonderful enthusiasm.
the 6 billion realities are one of my meme's

I'll take a cookie. A crunchy cookie. Biscotti anyone?

Visionary..... very aptly titled, very aptly penned.
Brava!
