“Is it done yet?” they scream
The deadlines coming near
Finish it soon – finish it quick
Just don’t forget workmanship.

Working hard – getting it done
Not allowed to have any fun.
Have to please them, make it look good
Make it look like they think it should.

I need to win
Pressure yells into my ear,
Take home the prize,
But be fearless and kind.

Do not fail and do not flee,
I wish they would just leave me be.
To finish my painting and make it look good,
Not like it was made by someone working with wood.

A painting that show a grimace with a stare
Trying to hide what lies hidden in wait,
Wait that some may see through its eyes,
Seeing the word that was so cleverly disguised.
