Chaos and Confusion

Image Source: Magpie Tales


They call me an artist
I create masterpieces after all 
But what they don't know 
Is that my art is my life 

That the sketches on canvas 
Are chaos and confusion 
Reflected from my thoughts 
It keeps me sane, these ragged lines

They interpret my art in different ways
While I want to laugh in their faces
That feeling fleets as soon as it comes
They have made me who I am 

But the only person I'm doing it for 
Is myself, that's who I am, a selfish creator
I shy away from colors
I prefer my art like my life, in grays and blacks

A brush stroke here, a smudge there 
I search for answers in between
They continue to delude me however
Still I take a deep breath and continue...
