The Art Inside of Me
Location
People talk about me and it used to bother me
they said I was annoying
they said I was loud
and weird
and for a while
I bothered me, too
But then I grew up
and I discovered
it's not so bad being me
I never needed company
I can entertain myself
with only a pencil and some paper
I can make life
and as I grew
the life I made grew too
And I don't need gossip
the only story I need I can coax
from strings of copper
and a bow of hair
Melodies telling of tales never heard before
From such beauty I bring peace
Peace only I can capture
I don't need anyone else
Not their thoughts
or their suggestions
Their advice is irrelevant
All I need is my art
and I can live happily with myself
