Trash or Talent

A Poem

By Melina GiorgalletouPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Things change when you take things seriously.

It all becomes too real and you realize that

you have to make sure everything is perfect from now on.

Make sure your writing is perfect - who knows

who might see and put you to balance on a thin line

and watch until you fall into one of the holes

named: trash or talent.

This is our world. From one acre to the next.

You can't be both, you can't be none.

You have to fall in one doom and

survive or else you're a failure.

But I know you'll prove them wrong.

You're an Aquarius after all, an Aquarius that

used to think was a Gemini only because

you have a twin sister.

An Aquarius that wants to be something special

but at the same time feels like you'll never be one of the best.

You want to, but you don't believe you can.

And indeed you have become the person

that goes from one edge to the next.

What about standing in the middle?

Just in between?

Wouldn't that help your balance?

Wouldn't that prove to you that you

can be one of the best

without risking your life?

Trash or talent.

Indeed, that's the question of today.
