MEDIOCRE

 

I really want to write a novel, 

but it is a big time investment,

and by working how I am now,

at that redundant resturaunt,

it would take too long to finish.

The creative mind gets murky.

We can't get trapped on a path

of following perilous pursuits.

I bet that soon I will be begging

for acceptance as to whatever

it may be that I wish for myself.

Merely a mediocre man I am.

I've read enough of your

I've read enough of your poems (and prose) to know that mediocrity is not your style. I understand how daunting a novel is because of the commitment in time and head space, but you're still young and massively talented and situations change, so I'm pretty sure there are books inside you clamoring to get out. Occasional murkiness and risk is part of the deal. Don't give up!

There is no giving up

in the world of writing;

only getting better

or going absolutely mad.

I am always feeling 

my way thru thoughts;

I try to delete things

and argue I should not.
