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...
