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.

To Be An Artist
1: "Look at these paintings. They're just awful."
2: "That's their vision as an artist. Don't hate, my friend."
1: "Oh I know about being an artist. I know how to draw."
2: "Being able to draw doesn't make you an artist."
1: "Huh?"
2: "You gotta feel it.
You gotta taste it, know it, eat it, breathe it, see it, LIVE it.
You gotta shudder as the colors pour from your veins.
You gotta scrape at the canvas just to understand your vision.
You can't eat - you gotta STARVE!
You gotta lose a loaf of bread for some tubes of paint and fall asleep at your canvas still dressed in yo paint splattered apron.
You gotta get F's because you w

It's sad
It's sad,
How people lock themselves up,
In their own little world.
We lie to ourselves,
Say that everything's alright,
Everythings fine.
We wear the mask,
And act the part,
And say it's all part of the show.
We live in boxes,
See in darkness,
And speak in lies.
I't's our world
That we live in,
Why should it change?

Depression
Lay down your right to be human.
Put on a dazzling smile so that no one can see your pain.
You hide it all so well, but underneath your shirt you can still feel the scars.
No one knows what it is like to be you.
Your smile is but one in a billion,
A mask that you wear to ward off the questions.
Your scars are your war paint,
But this is a losing battle.
You are sent to face the demons all alone, though they will never leave your side.
So keep that pretty smile steady,
And don't let one tear drop from those stormy eyes.
Put on your war paint and go out into the world, where your smile makes you just like them.

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.
