The problem with saying you are self-taught
is that not everyone is cut out for teaching.

Endless
Memories so visceral
I can still taste them,
like the salty sweet wash of your skin
after a slow morning run
in the dancing summer rain.
Eyes a shade of amber,
golden flakes glowing in the warmth
of a crackling fire,
your lips parted like an envelope
I'm aching to seal.
Words whispered silently,
a tender glance exchanged,
an undulation of emotion,
a burst of color and a blast of light,
two lone figures unite.
Hands in the dirt,
knees in the slushing mud,
battle weary and fatigued,
I trudge step by step
toward the peak of this moment,
a banner raised,
emblazoned with your name.
For I'd rather die on the hill,

Gaze
You're a bright strange flower
in my garden of spoiled salted soil.
Why did you bloom here in this,
Your almost fantasy, my dear your precious.
Hard to bare this sick affair.
All that stirs alive in me
all that was buried becomes unearthed.
and what was never there twists and turns and births your curse, I'm cursed...
I watch you wither away,
away from me and my world of grey.
I plead I beg, please stay!
keep me mesmerized, keep me lost in your gaze.
Oh well my strange strange flower, keep me as a memory, keep me as a sparkle in your eye.

Apocalypta
Dawn breaks soft,
You are sun glare
in the rearview;
and I, the heavy mist
ahead
on a road that forgets to end.

Part of the Bitlets project.
Bitlets are about quantity, not quality. Free-write at least one a day about what is on your mind, going on around you, or the state of your life. Ignore the urge to edit; it's not about being profound on purpose, it's about stumbling on it by accident.About this Bitlet
This bitlet stems back to a forum post I saw a while back that I believe was made by either raspil, neurotype, or PinkyMcCoversong stating that there is no such thing as being self-taught. I happen to fall into that line of thinking, but what do you guys think, is being self-taught an accurate description of how someone has learned their craft?Browse Bitlets

Well, people who say they are self taught often just mean they had no formal teaching and I take no issue with that because resources or no, it does take an inordinate amount of effort and not everyone can in fact do it without the teacher and formal study of a classroom.
It's funny because at first I totally took this another way. To mean that some people who say they are 'self taught' could have used some better education.
