A spark
a spark.
In my eye,
In my laugh,
In my intelligent sprawl.
I'm told I hold this minute catalyst
in the simple moves of my frame. but no,
my life, my story. I'd know if it were so.
a spark,
the idea won't go.
it's odd,
My world,
My song,
My body itself.
I want to see the spark in my work
too see the splendor of what others perceive. I wait,
And I create, I live the same, but glancing at the mirror now.
it's odd,
my silly game
A spark,
I feel it now,
in my words and
in my performance,
in my very soul.
I see as others do my miniscule importance.
for once i can believe in their compliments, thank you,
is hard to spit and harder to give, but Aim humble to my own subtle faults.
A spark,
But not quite so.
A spark, yes, to their searching gaze,
but to mine own thoughts; a firey blaze!
My oddness, My gray, are but the ashes
to my passionate flame.
I rise,and I live in my curiosities. but make not a mistake
I am more than I seem.
a spark on the surface, for all eyes a-query.
but inside, a living fire,
my art,
my fury.
