I'm not an artist.

Well, I don't think I am.

There is something so inherently sad about those who give little pieces of themselves to the things they create,

like little scraps of paper taped on a poster board.

I want to be like that.

I want to break off little pieces of myself and wrap them nicely in pretty packaging

But I do not feel like an artist.

Well, I don't think I do.

I'm far too selfish, to wish for fame, for glory, for retribution.

I want to be a martyr for all the wrong reasons.

I am not an artist.
