I'm No Artist (I'm No Poet Pt. 2)

I’m No Artist (I’m No Poet Pt. 2)

artists are often

broken people

using the fragments of themselves

to create something new

and although

being healed

feels so complete

sometimes i want to be broken again

sometimes i want open wounds

so i can use the blood

to paint sunsets

so i can use the torn off pieces of skin as a canvas

so i can carve

masterpieces with the jagged bones left behind

but i can't bring myself to break my own heart in the name of art
