Wishing For Art

I had always wished I was artistic. I had always wished I was good at art. I was told in school that as long as I tried hard in art class, I would get a good mark. I tried so hard to be as good as everyone else but I almost didn't even pass. I just wanted to be able to draw and paint like everyone else. I wanted to put something together that didn't look like a child did it with their fingers. I just wanted to be able to draw tattoos and portraits and draw manga. I was always told practice practice practice but I was practicing for a long time....I still try and it just seems like this just isn't for me.
