<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s not easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You might look at the stars and see them<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and see they are alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You might look at people and flowers<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and see them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You might look at pain<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and see it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You might feel like a rabbit in an empty hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You might create something<\/p>\n\n\n\n
when you’re inspired<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and feel like it’s a part of you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then, what can you do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s not easy to be an artist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You might find your soul and lose it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You might look at crazy people<\/p>\n\n\n\n
who are looking at a crazy artist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That’s a lonely place to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You might want to say something<\/p>\n\n\n\n
nobody hears<\/p>\n\n\n\n
because they have no ears<\/p>\n\n\n\n
so you give them yours, goodness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maybe you see what nobody sees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maybe you feel what nobody feels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maybe you are alive still<\/p>\n\n\n\n
only in appearance<\/p>\n\n\n\n
always at the brink of something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You may want to show<\/p>\n\n\n\n
what nobody wants to be shown<\/p>\n\n\n\n
yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And yet you know it’s important<\/p>\n\n\n\n
incredibly important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And yet you want to tell us<\/p>\n\n\n\n
until you tell no more<\/p>\n\n\n\n
how the sun shines on corn<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and the moon on an insect<\/p>\n\n\n\n
in every detail.<\/p>\n
