The Artist

Why do we create?

Is it the burning desire

That threatens to consume us?

All we wanted was a normal life

All we can do is say that we tried

To create that normal life

Escape the fate

Escape the trauma

Left only with a longing

Yet life is no animal

That can be tamed

It is made of all the choices

All of us make every day

The greatest cause and effect

The suffering absolutely direct

Brave the journey

One day you can become

The cause and not the effect

Overcoming the suffering

Put upon you, absolutely direct
