I’d love to be able to draw

I’d love to be able to draw

By jfarrell

 

There’s a saying…

“We’ve all got a book inside us”….

I’ve a set clawing at the door to be let out.

There’s just one tiny problem.

 

My writing abilities are good enough to give you

The “Three Billy Goats Gruff” (with pictures - ladybird books)

As a story, but the Tarantino style dialogue,

That’s never gonna get published.

 

But as a ‘manga’ cartoon, or proper drawing of any sort,

I’d get away with it, maybe even get famous, make money;

Another saying “a picture says a dozen words”

If I could draw the images in my mind, getting them out would be easier.

 

But! I can’t draw worth a dime.

But! I can write.

I just gotta learn to write better

And one more thing, before I go…

 

I’d love to write a comedy; few books have made me laugh,

But those that have - I literally hurt myself laughing;

But, I suspect a very bloody, gore-fest of a story wants to be let out first.

Why do I write? Cartharsis - makes me heal, right? Is healthy, get it out.

Be aware of
Your motives,
Because I lend you my

 

Kindness,

 

I am not a talisman
To protect you
From your own

 

Blindness,

 

Accounting for self
Can mean
Claiming your true

 

Value,

 

Your beauty can't
Shine if no one
Can see through

 

YOU,

 

Do not make
Promises,
Or demean my

 

Compassion,

 

Don't underestimate
My desires
In that

 

Fashion,

 

I am a woman
That has
Seized her true

 

Prowess,

 

If you don't
Mind I'd love
Being friends without

 

Cowardice.

Most people aren't as scary as their roar. Being youself goes a long way. It is not the easiest thing to do in writing always.
