People always say to me
I have a gift, a talent
but when I look at my art
all I see are the flaws
and truth be told
I am a fraud
all of these marks were already here
they existed before me before me
shadows I trace and try to set in place
I just execute them poorly
I don’t know if this life is for me
I only know
Without it I cannot breathe
