Have you ever loved something so much
That you would do any task
Give up any possession
To chase what no one else could see?
In your heart
Have you ever held something so precious
That you would teach a fish to fly
Just to keep it within your grasp?
In my life I accomplished everything I was told I couldn't
I put myself below no one, I refused to face any discrimination
Because with my art I could make the invisible seen to all
I could change emptiness into brilliance
And I could capture an ephemeral moment and make it immortal
I was told countless times to give up for I was destined to fail
But I'd rather have tried and failed
Than live my life regretting that I never did
I am no coward, my paintbrush is my sword
And my canvas is my battlefield
For my art I would turn nothingness into magic
Because with my art I could make magic tangible
