Conquer

My greatest fear is that I am an artist without the power to create.
Why must I feel the need to burgeon my creativity onto canvas. What does this solve?
How do I start? Do I force myself to remember the stifling rules of art class?
Do I arise the memories of poor letters and being forced into a mold of lines and words?
Or do I forget? Forgetting everything is the only way to free the constraints of the soul.
But what if it is not? By chance there may be a small lesson hidden deep that may be useful.
Maybe it is concealed so deep that it is camouflaged as my idea instead of a lesson.
How do I differentiate? How do I separate original from taught? Is there a difference?
How I perceive my lessons makes their ideas my own doesn’t it?
Does looking upon a painting not inspire me to a more beautiful life?
Does reading a beautiful excerpt not fulfill and satisfy the soul?
By taking the feelings constructed by their art, and by their rules, and making them my own.
This is how I free myself to create. This is how I show myself the lessons in others.
By loving others art as carefully and as deeply as I love my own.
This is how I grant myself the power to create.
This is how I master my own soul.
