I'd never make art for the money

Even though it would be nice to fill the pot up with some honey


I'd never create art for the people

Even if they're the ones that give the artists their upheaval


I'd never try to crank out work just for the fame

Even though I'd be disappointing for not many people to know my name


Because


I'll always make art for free

Because money is not where the poet's emotions be


I'll always make my art for myself

Other people's opinions don't rival for one's self


I'll always have art flowing out of me the same way blood flows out of the veins

Because self-expression, reflection, and dedications are what sustains
