paint what you see
I was told to paint what I see
and not what I know
that the first step in creating something new
is learning how to create something real
but how can I do that
when I look out my window and see flowers
how can I only paint flowers
when the world is so much bigger than that
how am I supposed to ignore
all the complexities in life
I don’t think I can paint what I see
I was never even told to paint what I see
I read it in a book once
my whole world is in my head
how can I paint flowers when in my
head it is so much more colorful
yes
it is much more colorful in my head
so much more
