"close your hands,
don't cheat!
listen to the music,
feel the charcoal pencil
in your hands,
let your emotions flow,
relax, be guided by your hands,
don't try to control"

a lost orphan, i
was bewildered, unsure
as to how to proceed, compelled
to fulfil the speaker's expectations, wary
of doing this wrongly, apprehensive
of letting my subconscious dictate me

i wonder if i need more
courage or humility
to accept my vulnerabilities
