One second you can conquer the world and suddenly you have never felt so low
.
When you're surrounded by all these people, it can be even lonelier than when you're by yourself.

I am told what I am
A painter, no more
One who colours the world
With the madness of Thor

I am told what to do
It is advise that I seek
Yet I feel I'm not myself
My transformation - incomplete

I yearn for your words
Of wisdom, so true
But I feel that it hurts
All I want to know is who?

What must I do
To figure out my life
For everything I know
Is all lost in strife

As for now I must sit and wait
And hope for the best
That my life will gather pace
And my treasonous thoughts - rest

I like how you used Thor as an image of madness. Very well done!

The flow of the poem is clever. I like it. Beautifully written. I look forward to more of your work. The beginning is most unique. Your finish is intressante.
