Creativity Costs

by

You are enough. 

Insecurity or 

grandiose confidence 

isn’t necessary. 

Doubt, distraction, 

procrastination, fear, 

impostor syndrome,

borderline lunacy... 

are costs of the 

creative process.

Keep creating 

through it all.

But, then again,

what do I know.

The twist at the end made me laugh! Being a high school teacher often I want to say after each lesson...never mind, just think what you want to think.
Also, there is a driven quality to most artists that you captured well. My uncle is a screenwriter in LA and his mood depends entirely on how well the work is going.
Cool poem!
