for the love of art

art can make you pleasingly different 

and when you think that you are such a mess

art will save you with its solemn graces

and in that moment, you’ll feel infinite

there will be times, art can be difficult

when art has painted on all the wrong places 

yet you still let art ink your skin with traces

and often, you’ll find art so mystical

even when you’ve filled art with countless blunders 

the clothes you’re wearing, now all stained with paint

and when you are struggling, art will bring back peace

occupying your thoughts with lovely wonders

with all sincerity, you’ve got no complaint 

for art is such an ethereal masterpiece

–a.r, for the love of art.
