An Artist's Epiphany

A tumultuous dance

of feverishly-crazed aspiration

leading to a splendorous cacophony

marred by “imperfection”

in the creator's eyes.

Hours, days, years

and it all comes ricocheting

off the walls

when you feel the sudden

It's not good enough.

The perversely comforting routine

of chronically scarring the looming

alabaster canvas divebombs,

coming to a spasmodic halt;

All that for an erratic,

bittersweet,

lost of

love.

Daily life has lost its spice,

it is only a melody without music,

a group of disheartened soldiers

pitiful of the self-induced toxic of loss.

But you are only to arrive at

The epiphany—

so you return, back

to escape velocity

and you try again.

Hello again!! This poem was definitely one of the less literal ones I've done. Believe it or not, this was written for this quote:

"The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls."
Pablo Picasso

This quote is from #Freedom-From-Words's bi-weekly prompt selection. (You should check the group out!)

So anyways, I'm sure you guys here on dA all have had that frustrating "art/writer's block" feeling, where you can't come up with anything, or that self-criticizing mindset where nothing is good enough. I continuously find bothersome flaws within my work, but I just try and ignore it;;

Basically I was trying to convey all the struggle and bipolar "Why do I even try?" feels an artist goes through, and I came up with this.

So yeah, hope you enjoyed! Go and have some Mexican sweet bread now! ♥
