perfectionist

it’s hard knowing when to stop

when to stop caring and when to stop painting,

am i adding too much gray or should i leave the sky as is?

will i achieve the mountains with two more strokes,

or has the piece finally reached it’s peak?

stop there, i think,

yeah, that should be enough.

creation is a tricky thing,

is perfection subjective?

and how do i care the perfect amount

so as not to hurt when they stop?
