by way of human condition

everyone agrees that you know how to paint. "it's just how you see things," they all say.

so maybe i've gone this long but writing makes me feel empty now and writing has never made me feel empty but maybe it's just because i'm tired of expressing myself through written words. "it's art," they all say. "not everyone is supposed to get art."

maybe it's time i pick up another medium. i wonder now if i begin to paint what i would paint or how i would paint. i wonder now if i would paint patience or maybe even love or maybe i would paint resentment and anger. 

but they all say you know how to paint and they all say in the same breath that not everyone's supposed to get art.
