So you want to be an artist?

Manipulate the mundane
Paint the world with broken hearts
My dear, you may be hurting
But at least you can make art
You sacrifice your sanity
As people watch in awe
Be careful what you wish for
As it’s inspired by your flaws

Nicely written and yes how we become owned in the public light if we become famous or infamous.

Perhaps the most poetic summation of this bittersweet truth. The works of great artists are often derived from their greatest pains and personal demons. Yet, they write and paint the most beautiful art. Great piece, Emily!

In the infamous words of Robert De Niro from Taxi Driver : "Are you talking to me?" laughs. As an artist myself this speaks volumes to me. Thank you for sharing it. Bravo
