I look ahead at my book of empty pages
Pages wanting to be filled with knowledge and creativity
with hope, inspiration, exploration and insanity
beautiful, colorful pages.
I envisioned the beautiful things that could be achieved, the things I could create, the color I could barely imagine.
It was all just out of reach for whatever lack of skill or creativity.
I was sick of being talentless and completely sane.
I wanted to smear these beautifully colorless pages with the blood of my mentality.
So I wrote a chapter of loathing.

The author's comments:
I felt inspired to write one evening so I decided to look up some random phrases online. After awhile of mindlessly looking through pages on pages of unhelpful phrases, I came to "chapter of loathing" at the bottom of the screen on some tumblr forum. I decided to write about it. My goal for this piece was just to practice making something beautiful out of something so small. I promise it can be done with anything.
