I've been afraid of comparison recently and the unruly grasp it has on the creative minds. In this creative world it is easy to lay people side by side like two ideas and say one is better or worse.
Comparison
Compared to the sun
how dimly I shine
my warmth extinguished
in the passage of time
that kind of radiance
could never be mine
Comparison
Compared to the sun
I could never be
I wilt shamefully
afraid to be me
because I don't
speak eloquently
or loudly or persuasively,
I speak quietly
as if I were the sun, but
Comparison
Compared to the sun,
I am a star
burning brightly
in the past
afraid the feeling won't last
and I fearfully ask,
is it because of comparison?
