I've always had this fascination with artists. I don't mean Artisans in general but rather just Artists..Painters and Sketchers....Sculptors and even those whom are merely skilled with colors. For the longest time I just pushed it aside as the fact that art is just visually appealing but after looking at the contest on gaia tonight I realized something.... I don't think there was even a day in my life that I was able to right a good positive poem... That's when it hit me...I'm fascinated with artwork because it has something I don't... Artists can create something beautiful...Where as all I make is things that are dark...I can't drew a stick figure worth a crap...But...I can sit down for two to three hours and iron out piece of literature in which the very theme of it holds a darkness to it... I'm fascinated with Artists because I am envious of their talents..It almost Humbles me to look at their work...I mean sure there are some poor artists out there but even still for the great few that aren't really cut out for art they might find themselves like me. Able to pan out literary segments quite well..But even I'm limited...To the point its almost black and white in my eyes for the situation...
