Artists are very good at mentally beating themselves up. It comes, I think as part of the territory. In order to be a success, there’s a measure of self-loathing and that constant niggle, at the back of your head, that maybe you’re just not good enough.
This won’t be the last time we touch on this subject.
Not Good Enough
A disappointment,
Head shakes, sadly: at what point
Did this all break down?
You have failed to grasp
Inherent issue: sometimes
Life is not simple.
The judge and jury,
Sit, pronouncing: this outlook
Hardly sufficient.
Everything I tried,
Effort expended: sadly
Fate remains unchanged.
Understanding now
It doesn’t matter: outcome
Never good enough.
