Natural Talent

Sun, 01/06/2019 - 00:37 -- DomiG

A poet has her words
A singer has her voice
An author creates entire new worlds
A model exudes confidence and poise
It seems that I've been skipped from receiving any natural gift
Why is that I cant do or create shit?!
I know someone who can pick up a skill like it's nothing
Yet here I am racking my brain thinking:
'I must be good at something!'
Yeah my art is subpar and my writing wont win any awards
Music and photography are among the extravagant skills I cant afford
"Practice makes perfect" they always say
No, I want to be good at it today!
Who has time to spend hours day upon day honing their craft?
It takes 10,000 hours to develop a talent?
Yeah fuck that!
Maybe I can make up my own talent that'll make me great
Spend zero effort yet become the girl who chooses her own fate
Since I'm amazing at nothing, I can be mediocre in everything!
I'll be the girl who tries it all, I'll never back down from anything
I've done it! I have discovered my God given gift
It's the power of loving myself and not giving a shit.
