Work in Progress

Feels like I'm always thirteen steps behind. Born 50 years ahead of my time.

An artist after budget cuts.
An actor once the curtains shut.
A child when there isn't time for games.
A gambler with no hope of gain.
An author in an illiterate city
A model that doesn't quite pass for pretty
A friend to few, and then from afar
Only offer submission when it's not too hard
Eager to learn after classes are cancelled
Asl you a question to see if you know the right answer
Working the hardest when there's no money involved
Have no faith in humans, though they say we've evolved
A dreamer discouraged, a lover out of time
I may be out of place, but I'm at home with my rhymes.
