“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.
