I write under some small delusion,
that you would want to see
me, bare my soul and that my soul
is full of colour and wonder;
that I could some how venerate your being
with Some spark of creativity
magnified in personification to a whole new status of being.
And I wrap myself up in this warm delusion.
It helps me sleep at night,
I feel better about the world,
even a little less lonely,
at first...
Because then you're driven
by some constant compulsion
to draw out the emotions.
You plot and plan words
and the schematics of affectations.
The tiniest hopes spur you on,
through endless trials and drafts of possible perfection
not yet in words perfected.
You stretch your minds limits
you seek new boundaries of thought.
You while away hours forming possibilities
based on a line that becomes the hook.
You become the friend of empathy.
Seeking to somehow bring a voice to others pain.
All the while selfish and conceded
it is merely a means to an end.
The is no torture greater than this discipline of arts
with such limited tools to drive a wedge of emotion
through the eyes and drive to affect the mind
to cause a heart response that reaches the soul...
I please you.
This is my delusion
that sparks the wars of many wordss.
Fighting for the chance to venerate me.
