a blank page

simple but plain

pencil marks added

but life is not perfect

mistakes are made

i’m not perfect

you can try to erase them

brush off the eraser residue

but light marks will stay

no one can notice them

only you can see them

an outline is formed

a direction made

you can make changes

form the page to be

what you want

a tedious task

but with enough dedication

it’s possible

you spend a while to question

the direction you want to go

the colours

or leaving the page black and white

if you chose the wrong colours

the page will be ruined

or

the colours will make it shine

most artist aren’t proud of their work

at least i’m not

but everyone tells them how talented they are

most only see the finished project

but a few stick around long enough

to learn about every erased pencil mark
