I want to be an artist so much that I forgot something more important.
Imagination!
I follow so much of all the rules and technique I learned that
I forgot to be me.
To the one thing I love,
Creating my imaginations
Making it part of me
Experiencing the things I never would have done.
:Side Note:
My mind is full of ‘what if?’, ‘What if this…?’ or ‘what if that…?’ then I create a scenario in my head like a little movie. I think I forgot that, my life is full of disappointments, failure and problems that make me sad and lonely that blocks my imaginations.

“Too much reality makes your head full and no room for creations.”
I really liked this one! It speaks an undeniable truth in the fundamental flow of inspiration, as both the yin and yang of our lives go into our mind as the brush caresses the page. If there is to much pepper and not enough sugar, than the painting shall not turn out the same or with as much life as if there was a balance. Our art is an echo of our own inner well being after all.
A strong piece of poetry about something real. Not like the fantasy that I write. I like this.
Of course, I think one of the keys to the problem posed by the quote you have as the final line, is one must take that reality and add a little fantasy to it. I often twist reality in my head after I have experienced it. I do things differently, I changed the order of events, the setting, the people. Sometimes I even change me.
In short, you already have the answer. Imagination. Add a little sprinkle to everything you experience. It helps to loosen the hold of realities' chains and breathe a little.
Love the truth of this piece. Imagine Concept...Create...BOOM! This work is brilliant thanks for sharing Pax!

But, you said that you were too overwhelmed with reality for imagination, but by writing this piece right here... is a work of imagination in itself! If that was what you were trying to do, I get the irony.
I'm glad that you see the irony of it...maybe I'm just seeing the reality of what's now i'm feeling... read moreI'm glad that you see the irony of it...maybe I'm just seeing the reality of what's now i'm feeling..but still i want to escape it and go to fantasy land.....were reality has no boundaries..thank you my friend..

Sometimes we need to stop and reflect, be alone with ourselves to find that deep sense of imagination. It takes time but it comes and flows in our work - whether in art, music, or writing. I like to listen to soft music while writing and meaningful photos also inspire my poems -that's a combination of Art - it births imagination. Your written work here paints the process all artists go through, and you laid it out in honest simplicity it cuts with superb impact. Wonderful writing.
