Another diamond

Here's another poem that is in a similar format to the previous one, only longer. :P

~~~~~~~~~~

1- It's

2- Not easy

3- To come up

4- With a good idea.

5- But who said it was?

6- No one becomes successful overnight, right?

7- It takes practice, and lots of work.

8- Making a song, writing a story, or inventing something

9- Is a wonderful dream for creative individuals to have.

10- That doesn't mean it's going to be fun and games.

11- It's hard to be original, not to mention challenging to compete

12- Especially with the many great minds that have all come before you.

13- With so much content out there, the garbage as well as the masterpieces,

14- Not to mention all the critics, trolls and haters, waiting to tear you down,

15- How does one even begin to express themselves in a way that's never been done?

15- Well, maybe you won't be completely original in your creative endeavors, but hey, it's okay.

14- After all, every new idea that came into reality was based on old ideas.

13- You can start being creative by taking existing things and changing them slightly,

12- Or even by taking a few things at once and combining them.

11- That's what all artists do, in the end. Real artists steal.

10- Changing something is much easier than creating from thin air.

9- There really is absolutely nothing new under the sun

8- When you sit down and think about it

7- But that is not a bad thing.

6- Stand on the shoulders of giants.

5- Can't promise you'll make it,

4- But you won't know

3- If you don't

2- Ever even

1- Try
