I strive.
I have striven.
Yesterday I strove.
All my life I have striven to portray a feeling
Exactly as I felt it.

I've striven to make a photocopy of
A moment of my life (or thoughts),
And place it, in words, on the page.

This, to me, is true art.
This, to me, is what artists ought to strive for.
This, I believe, is impossible.

I fail.
I have failed.
Yesterday I failed.
All my life I have failed, yet
I strive.
Another poem written on the bus...  That seems to be the place I get most of my time for writing nowadays (when I'm not falling asleep on said bus and nearly missing my stop, that is!)  I have been trying to show an /exact/ feeling through writing for some time now...  Never have succeeded.  Let me know if you do; I would be quite interested.
