Eye(s)

“I’ve miscalculated plenty. I’ve overstepped my bounds, gone too far, and crashed. I’ve over-shared, over-exposed, over-expressed, over-whelmed, over-shot, and over-wrought. I’ve missed the mark, I’ve missed the target - hell, I’ve even missed the whole side of the whole fuckin’ barn. I’ve leapt before I looked, shot before I’ve aimed, and tried to blow bubbles without enough soap and water in the wand. I’ve said too much, not enough, and opened my mouth when I was still chewing. But the difference now is that I would gladly be all that than the alternative. I would rather risk missing the mark than not trying to hit the target at all. I would rather risk painting a monstrosity than not putting my brush to the canvas, and paint what is in the depths of my heart. I will risk living my entire life as an art project, knowing that the world may not connect to my own self-defined masterpiece.”
