Array ( [sid] => 115192 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Confidence [time] => 2006-02-22 01:28:14 [hometext] => [bodytext] => The danger of knowing
of where this is going
is usually lost on me.
Imitation, the highest form of flattery
think not brothers and sisters
rhyme with me
write lines with me
so mine never stand on their own
never has to hope
of being good.
I read the others and my heart sinks faster
I just can't compete
Is it something inherent in me
or just an intelligent mind working.
Passion releasing, never ceasing
only which stop is the one
I want it bad I really do
but rejection is something new
Feel it with me
Help me grow this seed
sow it and know it
so it stands on its own.
I oddly can't do it alone.

the contents seems lyrical in style and rhyme.
i can relate and agree with some of these statemesnts. Very unbiased and balanced. I like it. I can definately correlate: " read the others and my heart sinks faster
I just can't compete"

I adore the conclusion. Very enlightening.

We all have a tendency to compare our gifting or work to another; and there will always be someone who'll outshine our little, in comparison.
As Hugh MacLennan said: "Comparisons with a loving human being, everything else is worthless."

There is real passion with depths of expression in this muse; thanks for sharing.
