It is painful at times, Seeing those born with skill and talent. They paint such beautiful things, using the barest of material. Entire worlds are spun at their fingertips, all from a dot of paint. I think sometimes, of how nice it must be, To be able to capture such beauty, within the borders of a page. To spin a tale from but the smallest of phrases, To create a fantastic adventure from a mundane experience. It is painful indeed at times. When I am seated in this room, Surrounded by the dull hum of failure and regret, I ask myself, with eyes burning in the mirror, Am I finally ready to give it all up? 'No!' I say I will not let it end
