Bogleech.com"s 2015 Horror Write-off:
" On Purpose "
Submitted by Joseph Hartman
I started from nothing.
A blank piece of paper.
I had an idea. A plan.
An overture. A sketch.
I am an artist without inspiration.
A center. A focus. A sphere.
I am crafting my masterpiece.
Oceans of water and flame.
I use negative space masterfully.
Suffering was born.
I am a conductor awaiting my band.
The stars of the show.
I add detail. Twists in the plot.
Loneliness. Curiosity.
I know how it goes.
Crests and valleys. Gold and filth.
I had an idea. A plan.
Conflict. Growth.
I am an artist without an audience.
But there is no path.
I make art for art's sake.
Left behind. A pointless finale.
I am an artist. And art imitates life.
The work is finished. Added to the gallery.
And what is life without suffering?
A finger on a switch. A spark.
Let there be light.
