The Artist

To be an artist is to know how to handle a paintbrush

To be an artist is to have a story to tell

To be an artist is to go through as much as you can, and throw it on a canvas.

To be an artist is to tell the difference between red and yellow

To be an artist, is to make a masterpiece out of it.

It’s an artist that has a way of life

A way not so conventional

It’s an artist that learns from life

maybe miss a turn being unintentional

It’s an artist that has plenty to do and ideas waiting to shine

It’s an artist that has memories, too. Memories that could blind

whether it comes out as a shining light,or a bright yellow star

Whether it comes out looking like a picnic or a cruel war

It’s an artist that has all these emotions, bottled up, deep inside.

It’s an artist that knows how to control them, and burst on a canvas and fly.

It’s an artist that can combine bitter & sweet

It’s an artist that can make the harshest memories play on a paper that weeps

Maybe I’m not so conventional, but I know there’s a way.

There’s a way to make a masterpiece, a painting, that could be your confession one day.

put it all together, and make your mark.

Because whatever you do in life,  you’re an artist that shines through the dark..
