This world is filled with creative people. I'd even go as far as to say that everyone is creative in one way or another. We all have a gift in some area, from painting, to music, poetry, numbers, logic, dancing, spontaneous irrationality, accounting, dimensions and on and on..... When you meet a person or come across some work in your area of creativity, you tend to admire it. But there's also something else. Exceptionally good work can make you doubt your own creativity and just how "special" you are. There's a Kiswahili saying "Pwagu hupata pwaguzi". For those that do not know Swahili, Pwagu is a great thief and Pwaguzi is an even greater thief (In plain words, it says thief meets greater thief). Basically, no matter how good you are, you'll always meet someone even better. How you deal with it is what determines whether you live in envy or inspiration.
Creatives
There are poets, there are creatives
There are those, who always show initiative
You can enjoy their work, but never compare
For in this you'll only despair
For no matter what their looks
No matter what their tools
No matter if their good
Please do not be a fool
For there's nothing to prove
And like them you cannot do
So all you can do and should
Is believe there's no one like you
And thus.....
there's no one as good
