All I Have

It's the only thing I have

You say I have art too

Notice the too, notice how you didn't say no, notice how you didn't deny it

It's the only thing I have and I'm not even good at it,

I'm trying to hold onto something else

I can't let it go

I think it's all I am

Just a kid with a goal

That holds on to me with a vice-like grip and refuses to let go

That consumes me and drives me insane

That won't let me be

I draw, and I paint, and I write, but the ache never leaves

I feel bad for relaxing, it's a treasure I don't deserve

I work, and I work, and I work,

It's all I have, all I am
