The life of an artist is an interesting one

From the outside

It looks so simple

To draw

To paint

To write

To design

You look at their art

"That's cool," you say

Then you look away

But is doesn't matter anyway

The way you express yourself

Is different from us

You may never understand

What it's like to explain your head

Using only the pen that's in your hand

Such abstract ideas

Believe it or not

You have them too

We all do

That little kid inside of you

You brushed away to chase other things

Like money, a job, or a brand new house

Push them away all you want

But maybe every once in a while

You can let them out

Use your imagination

And join us

Live it, love it, and let it consume you

Live the life of an artist
