None can compare
To an artist
They know
Who they truly are
They have to make their work
Striving
Often in desperation
To share
What is in their hearts
An artist will endure poverty
For their art
Rejecting the security and comfort
Of mainstream living
An artist experiences people
Just as they are
And sees the world for what it is
And what it has become
Artists are fearless
Shapers and commentators
Of the now
They will not seek refuge
In what is past
But are only comfortable
When creating the future
It is a painful destiny
To be an artist
But there is no such life
To compare
