I wouldn't consider this a poem, or an essay, so its just something random I wrote.
"I have always found myself to be stuck between mediocrity and success, a sort of limbo.
Many things I wish to do I never fulfill out of fear of failure or disappointment,
so my ideas remain within.
Art, mainly.
I want to make art, any art of any kind,
but my technical abilities are thwarted by my negligence.
I despise myself for this phenomenon,
and I am my worst critic.
So whatever I may write,
I will *always* hate.
I will *always* consider incomplete.
I have wanted to make art of any kind ever since I was younger,
and I had true passion behind what I wanted to do.
But as I grew older,
I began to hate whatever I created,
comparing myself to those around me,
or those I consider to be influential.
My ideas are locked within,
a ruling of unlawful imprisonment could be made,
if I were to try at whatever outlet I want to take on.
Self-loathing or confidence,
the border in between I lie.
The only solution appears to be to put whatever I can out into the world...
Thank you...!"
