You Are Your Artistry
Some people wear masks
Or make-up to cover up
Their insecurities
Seems that many are unsatisfied
Inside and out without a doubt
Something reeks of imperfection
And so reinvent their sad complexion
Never seeing their complexities
As diamonds sparkle with nature's rarity
Unique and beautiful, no looking glass perceives
The ink you bleed in poetry glows with creativity
Distract not from who you are, then you will be your artistry
Or make-up to cover up
Their insecurities
Seems that many are unsatisfied
Inside and out without a doubt
Something reeks of imperfection
And so reinvent their sad complexion
Never seeing their complexities
As diamonds sparkle with nature's rarity
Unique and beautiful, no looking glass perceives
The ink you bleed in poetry glows with creativity
Distract not from who you are, then you will be your artistry

Thank you G! Finding a part of yourself in the artwork of others is what makes our craft universal... and then there is the purple luv & hugs to give and receive that always brings smiles to faces and a purple glow in the darkness to get through the dark times...

Those masks, make-up, and facades that people wear, have to come off sooner or later. It's tiresome trying to keep em' intact.
I absolutely love the message in your astute observation, JJ... xo
