Art Oppression

by kenny

Breathe in and blow everything out of proportion A manic artist versus the abstract composition In my head this all looked as perfect as imagination The challenge was blending the line between fantasy and reality To get the inner critic to agree Worlds colliding this one into the next Dreams manifested to the forefront  of a visionary gone inside himself Throwing myself against the walls of my mind  In an attempt to think outside the box. Even in our own heads they've got us on lockdown With the chemical constraints constricting creativity  These straightjackets of sorts Straightening out the free-thinkers A fourth wall broken Pretentions are high On the artist's plane Subjectively selling ourselves out to a shallow medium The mainstream The water we should be walking on We're drown out in. Drawn into the background of the bigger picture.
