The Call Of An Artist
PHILADELPHIA, PA
I don’t know why we’ve been thrown
into the depths of this cruel world
But as an artist, I am grieved by
the unsung possibilities
I have done what I could with despair
I have walked the path of hope
Until my feet bled
I have drank from the bitter veins of freedom
And cried upon the drunken heart of democracy
Where is the happiness for my pursuit
For my blood, sweat and tears
For the renderings of my suffering—
Where is the life, after this tumultuous death
For this must be the call of an artist:
To care in a world that is careless
To confront the world with the price of a breath
And dare them to face their worth!

"I have come to accept that these scars are mine to love--- and while these scars may forever bind me to a time and place-- I am here, kissing the sun, like a rose that has made peace with its thorns.

We must learn to champion ourselves and become our own superheroes. To take those things which threaten our creativity, our well-being—to use EVEN DEATH as a canvas of understanding, beauty, and transformative art!" -D'elve Je Veux III
