An emotional [I hope] poem about art. |
Art is a word that means more than just drawings, songs and rhymes It holds a world of deeper meaning, just look for the signs Like when some people look down at their arms And they don’t see skin, they see a canvas to be drawn on While others see paper that’s designed to be cut For them an exacto knife is a blessing that’ll cut their paper up They are warriors in everyone’s eyes, warriors that are too strong to cry So instead of showing weakness, they just bleed water from their eyes Flowing like a stream from the faucet tapped into our imagination Just like the Painter, we’re in love with our creations All an artist is, is a universe trapped in a person And at every opportunity, they are going to try to burst open But if true love is supposed to be a form of art Then I want to erase it all and then trace it from the start Because every single time I’ve drawn, something has always gone wrong I can’t find real love, I’ve got to order it on Amazon But I don’t feel sorry for me, I’m as happy as ever Weighed down by the desire to do well while I’m tethered To the weight of college and the distractions of life And all things we have to do to make it all alright We’ve got our future in the stars The planets are aligned perfectly And we’re free to choose our own fate because the universe is ours There are a little over seven billion, four hundred and three million people on the planet And each of them is an artist in their own way From the day they are born until the day our life fades And we pass into legends through drawings, songs and rhymes To a world of deeper meaning where we can learn to read between the lines Where we can be free of depression, stress and loneliness It’s the place where we can discard our masks and find comfort in closeness Where our art can be left to flourish with pride And with every new artist, our legacy survives Yet for now, we’re trapped in an art gallery Trying to create something worth being remembered Someone please stop by so I can try to show you that the future’s bright And remember This world is yours to conquer |
