Self Portrait

I am

a creative, unburdened by excessive talent,

a good man, three beers away from poor moral,

a romantic with an unattainable muse,

‍ ‍isolating

as a way to moderate

the constant breaking of a heart.

A closeted zealot,

holding on to the past with nightmare nostalgia.

A self-prescribed dlyseix,

a shrink-prescribed bi-polar.

I am

a genius, a fraud, a child, a charlatan, a hack, unequipped, the next best thing, a dumbfuck, talentless, off-key, beautiful, brilliant bastard,

all in the duration of one work.

I lack—

the patience

to complete

anyth
