We Fought For Our Art

From first's to now
We fought many battles.
We fought the people who said
Heck! That's just beginner's luck.
We fought against the prejudice
That's not a field meant for you .
We fought,
And we learnt.
We grew as much as we could
Till we got to here.

It's unfortunate.
That there were so many hurdles.
If I didn't see my future,
I'd probably be burnt out by now.
If I didn't see my past,
I'd probably say
Where I am right now
Means nothing.
But it means more.
I fought for where I am.
I found myself in my work.
I found work that I love.
And I am good at it
Because I try to be.

Trying to be better,
Doesn't mean I'm no good.
It just means
I know
There's always a possibility
That this can be easier,
More relaxed,
More me
And less forced.

In art,
We learn the basics,
The techniques
And then we are told to feel?
No we are told to feel
Through it all.
We are supposed to feel through it all.
But when we were younger
And new to it all,
We were confronted with
Lines and rules
And things that made no sense to feel.
Now, they come in handy.
Like a language,
We wouldn't be able to speak
Without the words.

We've come so far-
From learning words,
To making sentences.
From learning to speak
To speak while emoting.
We have drawn blood,
Sweat,
Tears.
Poured ourselves
Into practice.
We have reached as far
As we fought for.
And that doesn't mean
We'll stop anytime soon.
