I'm not one to do things upfront and outstanding.
I'm shy, but I work hard.

When I create and draw
Inspiration from my friends and fans have stricken them with Awe

The deep love and devotion to becoming a better artist and better person.
Not just for my sake, but for others to help them escape their Prison.

Yet here we are, fallen betwixt and twain of what is good and bad.
What is true and what is not, what is a lie and what is perceived as Justice.

Sometimes I feel selfish and rude when other say I am not.
Sometimes I feel that I receive more than what I deserve when I do not.
Sometimes I feel that things are my fault when they are not
Sometimes I feel that I could be doing something when I do not.

But why is it that I, and many others, wish to go to school but can not?
But why is it that I, and many others, apply and work hard to move on but can not?
But why is it that I, and many others, deal with these situations only to have to pay a debt that we can not?

Why is Education such and expensive thing?
Why is it that Education, something we're told to strive for, is almost in impossible range?
Why is it that when we get our education with our degree, we still can't land a job in the field we want?
Why is Education so expensive?

Education is indeed Valuable.
Education is indeed needed, but at what cost?
To pay the rest of one's life away from the cost of it?

I feel better behind the scenes and behind the screens. When I can be a part of something bigger.
To make people smile. That is my purpose and drive for art. Not just for myself, but for others.

It is a high that I have fallen in love with. I create and express myself.
I create for others and help them express themselves.
I bring to life my ideas while giving my life to others to help theirs.

I feel that I have to return what is given to me but
Happiness is what I truly strive for. Both mine and the life around me.

I want to go to school to do these things but how can I and many others do so when we have a Debt to pay for?
How can we achieve our dreams like we've been told to do so?
How can we acquire the education to do it?
How can we access the fundamentals without drowning in a sea of debt?
How can we assess the situation to become better when such expenses quell us?

I'm not one to do things upfront and outstanding.
I'm shy, but I work hard.
