You have to make your peace with the fact
That some of the most beautiful things you will ever create
Will be made in the names of people who don't even know about them,
And could never come close to appreciating the feeling behind them even if they did.
Your choice as an artist is,
Will you let that make your art less beautiful,
Or will it stand lonely and exquisite, because something in it is only yours?
There is a difference between loving someone and what loving them creates in you.
A person can leave you, can ignore you, can forget you, can misunderstand you.
But the art that you create in their name will never do any of those things.
This is your time to choose
Whether you hold what you create because of love as yours,
Or let someone else own-
And possibly destroy-
Something it's likely they haven't even truly looked at.
