Starving Artist

by krYstene **Cancer** - Not entered

The stereotypical artist
has hands made out of leathered skin
and hints of dull razors
on his face.
There's an intellectual craving
for a piece of god
but not from heaven's gates,
and crimson paint
dried unto dirtied minds
is what we're painting today.

The starving artist 
lives full on content
though prickled of pride
that embezelled his ecstasy.
The scream that he painted
was yelled into ears
thousands of miles away,
though none of us possessed 
the wisdom to listen.

Reason for writing:

    people dismiss what they do not understand. you can be starving but incredibly full. it's all about inner satisfaction.
