an adjournment of scars, an endearment of stitches

167 | i look at people

I look at other people
to see them with 
dazzling smiles and
disciplined lives

I see them with
great people skills
and knowing what to say
to get the most laugh
from a comeback

I look at them to see
how people flock around them
because of the stories they tell

I see them speaking of mysteries
and world unexplored
with great conviction
to get people to believe

I look at other people
tackling important things
and delving into
relevant issues
while I sit here
with my heart on paper
and after being told
I'm not wanted—I knew
—they should have been
the artist and not me
