• It has been a while. The words dried up like the well of a deserted city.

  The world forces you into a mold.

  Slice here, scrape there, forcing you in

  and shaving off creativity with every push

  until there is nothing left but a light top coat

  for personality purposes. Even that is inspected

  to make sure it is not too glossy.

   

  I wander around stealthily, of course,

  so no one will notice that I'm slowly

  picking up the chunks and shavings

  to piece myself back together.

   

  I use each piece even before completion because

  waiting would waste wandering

  but once complete I will revise and refine

  my work in an attempt to pull the world

  back into the true light to find themselves

  lost in their own creativeness.

   

  For now, I will use what I have

  and present it to the world as my ultimate gift.
