Give Me a Tragedy

Folder: 
2016

If you want art

give me a mess,

give me a tangle of lives

 

I can’t make sparks

with perfection and puzzle pieces.

 

If you want a mountain

give me a valley,

give me hopelessness and black

 

I can’t wish

good into better.

 

If you want change

give me a time bomb,

a collision beyond time and space

 

I need rebels to

make a ripple or a splash.

 

If you want a story

give me a tragedy,

hand me something I can work with

 

I can’t build a castle

out of beautiful words.

I could build you a castle

Out of beautiful words, but it would only be a castle of glass.
How boring is "perfect" anyway ;)
