Blank Space


An artist sitting inside a big beautiful cottage full of art

Where everything was neatly placed

Not a single dust could be found

Wearing an outfit made by the Gods,


She used a yellow pencil to draw her life

The pencil’s tip became flat as the artist started using it

Always wanting it to be as sharp as possible while drawing, so

No mistakes could be made,


She sharpened it again and again until it was sharpened perfectly.     

Smiled for a moment, but as she started drawing, the tip went flat again

Annoyed that the pencil couldn’t stay sharp forever,

She did the same thing again and again until she almost finished drawing.


When she was at her last stroke,

She looked at the pencil, but there was nothing left.

The desire for sharpness worn it out.

She ended up with an unfinished canvas.
