Being an artist is complicated

Restrained by the chains of the world

You don't see your own beauty

​

You look at the creations of others

They seem to be more convincing

With a sense of magic

​

So mesmerizing

​

You stop looking at your own

They grip you tight

"What a beautiful artwork"

You hear the sounds of the chains

​

Being an artist is hard

Because it makes you aware

Of the freedom you could have

Without validation

​

But

"Does this really make others feel

Something?"
