Please Don’t Throw Me Away

I used to be “art”

... Expressive, Experimental

Not expensive

Made in this world

                        For this world

1) To inspire

2) To Enlighten

But suddenly... I was “a grade”

1) Flawed

2) Unworthy

Unwanted

Rejected

Entitlement and Pride threw me away

I was TOO late

I wasn’t creative ENOUGH

I didn’t have “ENOUGH” sketches

I CLEARLY MEAN NOTHING IF SOMEONE WON’T BUY ME

Just because you don’t like me

Just because YOU don’t like me

Just BECAUSE you don’t like me

Just because you don’t like ME

Get over yourself

GET OVER YOURSELF

Don’t understand me

Don’t enjoy me

Don’t talk to me or look at me or acknowledge my present

Just please don’t throw me away

I've been lazy and neglectful. Hopefully this new step in my life will inspire, encourage, and motivate me to document, write, and paint.

This first entry was inspired by recent events, where an ex-instructor of mine threw away a piece of my art because they deemed it worthless.
