I Am Here...

I Am Here...

A Story by Indra's Child

I am not here to become a better writer.
I am here to share my art with the world.
A million tiny imperfections in the eyes of the beholder,
May be solidly perfect to one who cannot read..
So, i am not here to get constructive criticism,
Maybe mine is a head full of nihilism.
Or not.
Maybe I should be more humble.
Maybe that was never the problem.
Maybe I should sit, waiting to see it crumble...
But the difference between me and you, is that I stopped f*****g caring.
I'm not here to make money, to learn to sell myself out,
To try and fail at crawling around in the clockwork
The gears, perpetuate tears, and paperwork
I am here because I want to show myself to the world.
Not to sculpt my image to the likes of society.
Not because I believe I am worthy of praise,
But because I want my words to be known.
And read, and passed, and thought about.
The important ones, I hope will change the world,
In some, small, positive way,
I am here.....
