in people’s faces
in their expressions
their gaze
their words and what they say
not only what they say
but how they say it
sometimes I’ll misinterpret it
and I’ll feel so blue
because I don’t understand
if I’m worthy of them
sometimes I just feel used
I wish that I didn’t rely on
other people
liking me or not
But that’s the way sales
are made or not –
when you’re an artist
