Sun Heights

'In the shadow of the greatest man, I feel naked, the lonely one, untouched by the rising sun.'

For the past few weeks I've just wanted to give up on school and go out and do my own thing but if I was granted that would what I do? I look up to Martin Kirby and I aspire to be like him, he's human he's worldly unlike these so called 'stars' who sing songs about materialistic values and sexism towards women.
Also I see people who are attending school and achieving great things, creating street magazines, getting noticed for their artwork and getting a name for themselves. However I seem to think this is all going to happen over night and I just can't seem to find the motivation to take my interests and talents further. I'm just lazy and lack ambition realistically and it's a disease because like a weed it spreads to other aspects of my life. Where did I go wrong to develop such a hindering habit?
I feel as though nothing explains it better than: 'Two ways to choose, On a razor's edge, Remain behind, Go straight ahead. Room full of people, room for just one, If I can't break out now, the time just won't come'.

BLACK & WHITE

Excited about finally finishing my black and white roll of film for my Minolta XG-1 and so I take it down to Big W to get it developed. The attendant takes my roll and my name explaining it will be ready at 2pm. Returning at 2pm the guy there says was yours the black and white roll? Replying with a yeah he says 'Oh I'm sorry our machines don't do true black and white'. My shoulders slumped and I walked away. RAGE

Uncertainty

'Another restless soul, bound in direction of white lines
Sleepless nights and a sleepless mind.
Dying since the beginning,
Cold streets harbour cold habits.
Uncertainty is what you'll find
Wandering deserts with ghosts.'
