You know you're an artist when paint stains your clothes regularly,
when it bothers you that you don't have an idea on what to do,
when you don't need to go to a salon to get your nails done.

You know you're an artist when you smile at a challenge,
when you can write your own songs, they play through your mind,
when you've got no need for radio,
you just hum that song you designed.

You know you're an artist when you create your own constellations,
when your failures inspire you to push forward,
when you can make yourself smile with a goofy scetch.

You know you're an artist when you've got your own style,
when you don't go a second without art in your thoughts.

You know you're an artist when people say 'you suck,'
when you stay true to yourself,

Yeah, Then you know you're an artist.
Well, I got bored, and felt like making something inspiring.

It didn't work, now did it?
Well, I still like the poem, even though it's free-verse and stupid.

I hope this'll inspire someone to keep doing what they do.
So many people laugh at art, when they-in truth- could not live without it.
If you know you're an artist, stick to it.
