Never apologize for your art

i've been told to never apologize for my art because art is expression and expression shouldn't be judged but i have to apologize for my "art" because my art is poetry about your cruelty poetry about my heartbreak and my drawings are morbid sketches of crying old men in the slums of a dark city or eyes with crow's feet shedding tears sculptures of distorted faces with frowns and red pupils I'm sorry for digging holes in the sand rather than building castles I'm sorry for throwing scripture on the ground because to me the scripture may as well be dog shit i've been told to never apologize for my art but when i think about it everything that everyone does is an art form i will not apologize for my art if my art is my life because I AM NOT SORRY
