Excellence Award in the 'The Text Generation 2014' competition
I, freely drawn by small hands,
details blurry and bland.
Hanging beside her,
an impeccable picture.
Misplaced I feel there,
for I cannot compare.
Uneven lines that they taunt;
my ambitious mind, daunt.
Born, shorn then torn,
like an orphan, forlorn.
Often nonchalantly looked upon,
for I, am not the picture you want.
