Dear Idea,


I don't blame you for not liking me. A lot of the time, I don't either. I'm limited, immature, ignorant. Cowardly and self-doubting. I am only human.

You said you needed me. As you may have guessed, the feeling is mutual. I need you to create. I need you to inspire me. To bring me higher. To make me a part of something bigger. I need you so that I can leave a part of myself behind. If I did nothing else while here, let it be said that I gave you life; that I released you from he frail, tiny prison of my mind; that I used you to expand and better the world. 

I need you when school is boring. When the days get tough. I need, I need, I need. See how I am? (But you already know.)

You have to understand that I can only do so much. It must be hard to condescend to me, frightening, brilliant thing that you are, but bear with me (as I tremble). Often I must put you on hold when you call; frequently I must store you away for later despite your frantic, furious struggling. Many do not know just how important you are. I wish to please them, and you. If I were as bold as I could be, I would not care. Forgive me.


I am weak.

Be gentle.

I wrote this twice, yet I still feel like it's not done. Oh well. Anything I could do to make it better?
Fellow authors, please comment! I'd love to hear how you feel on the subject. :)

Oh how true this is! As a writer, or an artist in general, one must often struggle with the ideas you get to make them work properly. They can be such fickle things, these ideas, and just when you think you grasp them...*Poof* :) Very well written!
