perhaps if i just


chip away at this one,
seemingly flawed particle
i'll create a masterpiece?

and maybe if i
just file this edge down
a classic, will be unleashed?

potentially,
if i take scissors to that side
voila! a unique collage?

just a little more color there
and there you have it,
a masterful mirage?

i wonder if that dig was too deep
do you consider this piece catchy?

i'm attempting to portay my uniqueness here
wouldn't want my art, viewed as sketchy

if i nail this part, to that one
will my mission be complete?

if i paste these pieces together like a puzzle
will one stay stunned, and look at it on repeat?

will i attain adoration for my work
even if, it is etched and complete, yet still possesses a flaw?

will others overlook the beauty in my mistake
whether intentional or not, will they stand in awe?

if i glue on some more sparkly shit
and shine it up real pretty for viewing

will the authenticity be compromised
and, my art, will the masses be misconstruing

hold up,
just wait
give me a second
to contemplate
and with myself,
debate
on how i
can relate
or possibly
relay
i have a message
to convey
so i sculpt
then mold
as my stories
unfold
readjusting
realigning
reconfiguring
redefining

so i can produce
the perfect piece
of me

i



am a sculptor of poetry
