The Night Talks • Vents

artwork

my sketchbook had so many eraser marks
thin and light grey lines mask the white page
it makes me so angry
such a good drawing on a messy page

i cant stand to look at it any longer
so ill rip it apart
and try to recreate the drawing before
but with no mistakes

its impossible

and it kills me that it is
so now i sit at my desk and lay my head in my hands
the sweat from my frustrations
stinging the red eyes of a tired artist

the book lays wide open
even worse smudges
and even more prominent eraser marks
goddamn

i ruined another artwork
but can it even be considered an artwork
if its incomplete
i would assume not

so ill close my sketchbook
and give it a final shove away
letting the hard work be ruined
