My blog, where I store those thoughts rattling around my brain |
Welcome to the insanity of my mind! Please excuse the cobwebs and clutter, I've been meaning to clean the place up a bit... Stop in and read some of my nonsense whenever the mood strikes you :) |
"What does it matter," the disheartened creator asks. "It's all crap anyway, nobody's going to read it... So what's the use?" Manuscripts gather dust, Lonely stories wait, in hopes of curious eyes - hungry minds ready to digest, words feeding imaginations. What's the point in a solitary chef cooking for only himself? These hearty meals will spoil, if left out on empty tables. A single stranger wanders in, gazing 'round at the steaming buffet, eventually filling their plate with an interesting cuisine and settling down for a bite. The culinary artist hides away, cowering in the kitchen. Unable to watch their work be devoured with disdain, wishing it had a bit more salt. At length he braves the opinions, striding out to see an empty dish, a white napkin dabbing lips, before the gourmand goes back for a second helping. "How is it?" He questions, steeling himself for the criticism. The verdict weighs even more since the dining room is empty: a single soul judging his fate. Sweat trickling down a neck, suspense drags onward as the reviewer takes another bite. They look up and smile, saying simply: "It's good." Two words, containing nothing and yet - everything. A creative mind carries on sustained by meager validation. One person was all he needs. |
Hey you, out there on the road Always doing what you're told Can you help me? Hey you, out there beyond the wall Breaking bottles in the hall Can you help me? Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all Together we stand, divided we fall |
