The Downside of Conquering the World
January 29, 2001
By Elizabeta
My mission in life is to conquer the world
...preferably in one day.
Unfortunately, one day has only
twenty-four hours,
ten of which I spend sleeping.
My mind goes faster than my hands
which are left behind in the dust
along with a dozen uncompleted projects
which were put on the back burner
because another idea came along
which was better than all the rest
and that I just *had* to do.
Arrgg..... this is frustrating!
My mind can barely concentrate
treadmill of my own creation
Start something - drop it - start something else
around and around and
Why me?
Why must I make an epic journey
out of a short story about a man
going to the grocery store?
Ugg, this is so totally useless
I am an unappreciated genius
I want to see my name in lights
(...all across the world, not just on my webpage)
I want to be a famous children's author
who publishes comic books on the side
But I can't finish a story
not one measly little story
I'm surprised I even finished this p
