Alone in the endless journey

Empty canvasses,unsculpted clay 

Perfection through expression 

Pull through, achieve: 

Euphoria 

 

Expose what has been birthed 

Cruel critics spit and chew 

Consumed by your own work 

Loving the child of your mind 

Cling to it, love it, Protect it 

 

Passion drives you 

Endure 

Beauty equals pain 

Pain equals strength 

Strength equals purpose 

 

Your potential? Infinite 

You exist here, now 

Shape yourself into YOU, cast off the critics 

Do not simply survive. Thrive.
