I think I wrote this a year or two ago...

I refuse

to let my refuse
become my refuge
even though
I kind of have—

It's easy and hard
to excuse my failures
by thinking of Picasso,
Dickinson, or Nick Drake

It's easy because—well
if even they got rejected—

there's really no reason
to feel too bad.

It's hard though because—
Well – they were gifted;

exceptions to that rule
that we hear so much about.
