Amateur

Poorly written words are etched onto a raggedy sheet of paper. They form into an ugly paragraph unable to be deciphered by anyone older than five. Finished up and turned in to the teacher where she smiles and honors it. Injected confidence swells inside an amateur mind Plastic thoughts Forming in the brain. Positive thoughts of riches and fame Childish dreams, impossible goals. The smog of thought clouds the mind, makes it blind to the errors the writing is made of. Said writing is submitted to clearer eyes. They judge with brute force Stern frowns scarred on their lips. Rejection comes in a heart beat.
