Determination

Like time, youth has slipped away,
nearing a higher level of maturity.
Accompanied with this growth,
an increase of my insecurities.

Failing to perceive as others do,
unable to realize the potential,
Simply noticing the obvious,
a lack of credentials.

Limiting myself with disbelief,
yet striving to create art.
Searching for new techniques,
inspired by my passionate heart.

Educating myself on variety,
attempting to push my skills,
Mentally prepared to begin,
the climb up this steep hill.
