Dangerous Mind

Art

Make it perfect, leave no flaws
That's all you have to do
Abide by all the given laws
And then we'll look up to you

There is no room for error
Not a single tiny fault
We don't understand your terror
We won't 'take it with a grain of salt'

Do it right, you here us? Now!
We're not in the mood to wait
We won't accept your pleas of 'how?'
You'd better learn your place

But don't you know who I am?

I am more than your demands of perfection
More than your impossible greed
I won't make every single correction
Nor bow to your so called 'need'

Maybe I like this color,
Or the way that shape tilts just so
"It doesn't look right" you mutter
I'm the artist here, shouldn't I know?

I don't care if you hurl at me curses
If you do or don't like what you see
I don't care if you think that it's worthless
What matters is it's worth it to me.

The picture is a painting I did of Rachmaninov's Allegro ma non tanto.  This poem was loosely inspired by people who criticize me and say that it should look different, it's weird, they don't like it, change this, change that, etc, as well as the people who make fun of me because they don't like the art I usually do, which is mostly anime characters and/or flowers.  I draw what I want to draw, thank you very much.

Btw, comment if you'd like to see some of my drawings.  They're not too good, so don't look forward to it too much. :)
