Van Gogh's self portrait,
Beethoven's symphonies,
Da Vinci's Mona Lisa,
Einstein's theory of relativity,
Phelps' Olympic golds,
Jobs' Apple,
Newton's laws of gravity,
Rowling's Harry Potter?
The common denominator among them, you ask?
Geniuses in their own right, all struggled with handicaps...
Creativity demands a demonic prize,
Van Gogh had to do away with his life!
So, a salute to all those still holding up -
in them -
An ocean of creativity -
not the doom of darkness!
For life can be a success and a tragedy at the same time,
But real success is when you are comfortable living both, big time!
So brilliance may or may not come at a price
But the prize you pay is what you decide!
