Value your art


Life is like a piece of art Your art Paint it with patience and fortitude Don't attempt to rush It'll get smashed up finally, at the end Glance into it If it's not good enough Don't be sad Rise up, look at it Fix it! Do not compare it to mine For, they will never be identical Mine, mine is not perfect either Girls, be oblivious to Misogynists, Their friendly disguised Nature  will never wait to tear you apart, that's normal . Your painting will never satisfy Each soul , that's normal too Some will find it busy Some will find it boring Some will find it fake Some will find it too real But, if you don't value your art Who will?
