In a world where whispers twist and turn
Where sparks of genius often burn
Creative minds, so sharp, so bright
Dance within the shadowed night
Misunderstood through ages past
Their visions painted, vivid, vast
Einstein with his cosmic dreams
Edison’s bright, glowing beams
Tesla, with his lighting touch
A man who dared to feel so much
They called them crazy in their time
Yet now their names in gold we chime
For genius wears an unseen cloak
Beneath its folds, the heart, the stroke
Of brilliance, that the word may spurn
Until its light they can discern
So here we stand in future’s gaze
Building fires from ancient blaze
Creative minds, so bold, so true
The world one day will value you
If someone is creative, it's highly likely they are super intelligent and misunderstood. Creativity isn't exactly welcomed or appreciated. Take a look at all the starving artists that couldn't pay their bills but continued on with their passions. Some of their art sells for millions now that they're dead, but when they were alive and struggling, they were often loners. They struggled financially, had little or no social circle, were isolated, and often felt alone.
I'm not saying this website is amazing. I have a super small fan base as of 07/09/2024, but you know what? I'm enjoying it. It's incredibly releasing to know my stories can be read anytime, anywhere, all around the world. It keeps me busy and distracted, and helps me to feel full of purpose. What I'm saying, is that no one appreciates what they have, when they have it. They miss it when it's gone and wish it were back. So many people from the past struggle with this, so what makes you think no one does now?
All the people mentioned in the poem above, and SO many more, were called crazy. They were outcasts and bullied. But we now use their inventions, their art, and their talent. They were highly intelligent, highly misunderstood, and highly devalued for what they brought to people's lives. Let's learn to appreciate what we have, and who we have before it's too late!
