Tell me not yet
Tell me this isn’t the best
Tell me to jump harder, the sky is far still
Tell me I lack spark so I can be attracted to my craft, so that talent is something I do and not what out do's me,
Art is long
Tell me am not a star,
Tell me am heavenly but being an heavenly body is difficult, I have to be at the helm all day, am weak to even compose myself, my craft is a cage, tell me something difficult.
Tell me my pieces are still very broken so I can write through the night,
So that I can write poems that can be a solution to global warming like poe-tree,
So that these pieces can break bread one day.
Tell me that the speech was not even bold enough to speak for itself,
Tell me I was just showing my art to people bleeding and in need of a shoulder and not a lean canvas,
Remind me not to prepare points next time but my heart for an heartfelt session
I don’t want to be a one time hero, I want to be in the scope of what heroes do
Tell me my portraits are still very flat
Let me draw through the night,
Let me start over again, I dream of a gallery store
Don’t tell me I’m a champion for scoring one goal,
For one poem that gave you goosebumps, you deserve gesse
Don’t call me smart for solving one problem, I should be the solution
Tell me am still not leading my game, the summit is still calling, unlock my rhythm
Tell me my jokes are very dry, wet my palms before fifty
Let me grind through comic books, I want to be a jam before millions
Tell me am not beautiful,
Let me go home and recollect, I’ve tried a number of spas before, beauty is just a matter of self esteem
The world is full of heroism
Clapping has stopped many talents from blowing up,
Tell me not in mournful numbers
Many talents are still upcoming ten years down the line
Art is drawing many to destruction, tell me my craft still needs improvement,
Passion unattended is a flame burning to its own distraction
Poets are burning with rhyme, musicians are eating there own lines, the rest, you name it
But the capacity to build a man is to break him first.
