Fallen Artist

I like it when people compliment my art.
Ever since I was a kid, I've always loved painting and drawing,
as I grew older, my imagination fell apart.
But what can I do? I'm only a human being.

I'm supposed to be good at this,
what happened to the little artist that I miss?
Did she disappear somewhere in the abyss?
Did I lose her because I lost the motivation to practice?

Everyone's art is better than mine,
when did I start feeling this way when my art is just fine?
Sometimes I feel like I'm only meant to hold these art tools,
because I can never be like those artists that seem so cool.

Am I an artist because I draw?
or do I draw because people know me as an "artist" ?
But maybe it isn't so bad having flaws,
not everyone strives for something to accomplish.
