When we are born we are born to be made,
Shaped like clay from the confines of the universes hands.
Like art.
And like art we are critiqued,
And like art we become,
Until our colours, thoughts, behaviours form,
And we are human,
We are all in one piece,
And these people stand and these people stand and give their verdict,
And these people stand and extend an invitation to us, an invitation that tells us to now be a "Starry night" instead of a Picasso painting, although they don't know even Starry night had their Picasso days.
And these people stand as they extend their arm, capturing the essence of our being on the street, when sometimes our clay is soft, or when the paint bleeds from us.
But our arms and wrists can bleed,
But our minds are told it cannot,
With the exception of one day to ask: "Are you okay?"
But by then I'm already in the kiln, and already dried to the bone,
Because I am an artist,
And i will shape myself again.
