I've been always bad at painting

When it's time to choose the colors and think of a design my mind goes blank

I doubt myself and lose confidence

Making a commitment to something so permanent becomes a struggle

Any creativity that pulses through my veins is put to a halt

And then

I remember starting over is easy

So I pick up the brush again and paint

By now, covering up old painted canvases with a fresh sheet of white paint has become second nature to me
