Gosh.
Were that this true.
My doubt holds me tight
in inaction,
the fits and starts
the fear.
When in the tiny bud
of secret knowing,
a brilliant brain within, lashing to find
a weakness in the skin,
to push free
to let my heart be.

“The greater the artist, the greater the doubt. Perfect confidence is granted to the less talented as a consolation prize.”

—Robert Hughes
