A Thank You for those who make the heart bleed
Namelesss faces and constant shapes flitted to and fro
Letting their shadows and jeers battered the artist's tender soul
Their words pierced her heart and their venom coursed through her body
But not once did she stop pouring her very existence into words
Her hopes, her dreams, and even what she wanted to do once the day was over
As the soul mended and the heart healed, she never forgot those nameless faces
What made them turn on her and eject her from their lives is a mystery on its own
It only made the artist's resolve stronger and added life to her work
In a way, this is a thank you for all those who spurn the creative souls
Thank you for the insults and rejection for you have given her inspiration to go on
Seeing the heart full of life may be wonderous, but seeing it battered and bleeding is beautiful
And only in pain can the heart and soul may truly become happy and strong
