Somehow for my art projects I select
Difficult inspiration pieces, I don’t expect
Myself to be able to do justice to the original piece of art
My inexperienced strokes I invariably impart
To the piece I create, and I am left
With artwork that is clearly amateurish and imperfect
Each time that happens, I am reminded that I am not
A trained artist, I need to improve a lot
At the same time, with each project confidence I gain
And I try something beyond my skill-set again
*
I wish I could approach my work in a similar fashion
Take on projects beyond my comfort zone, driven solely by passion
But without consequences in art I can make mistakes
Medicine has a much narrower margin, and the stakes
Are so high that to play it safe I have learnt
In fact I am excessively fearful of being burnt
The result is that in my art, improvement I see
But in my profession, stagnation is threatening me
*
Somewhere in between the two extremes I need to be
I hope my artistic endeavors serve as inspiration at work for me
Passion...unbridled
