If to create
is to burn
let us unfold our expectancy
by turning
our lives inside out
for no one to see
because in reality
no one is looking.
So what does it matter
if we create or destroy?
Is it for
ourselves to enjoy?
Or scorn our own arts that
were made with our hands
when we stand
all alone
and
we need our thrones
where we can all stare,
and admire the truths
we still hold dear
and for fear
of letting those dreams die
we set them ablaze
and hold them inside
so no other can say
they made it or took it away.

Again I share your sentiments, I've been trying so hard to make something work, but no matter what I do, stuff gets thrown back into my face-all that hard grueling work, for what seems like nothing.

yeah i can see you are trying very hard.... sometimes it is better not to hope, when you dont hope there will be no expectations, when there is no expectations there will be no disappointments in the end. another important thing is lie is the truth that we live in....
nice write dear friend...i sense your frustration, put into a well written poem.
