Apex Creativity

i sleep a little,yet worry a lot.

still stuck inside of what i'm not.

i look ahead,getting pulled behind.

dreams still exist in this twisted mind.

i create to escape, art always calls me.

then display it to release for all to see.

words, paint strokes, pixels, blues and reds.

anger and pain begin to leak from my head.

pages fill, canvas is covered, thoughts in flight.

like it or hate it i know i served my soul right.

brutal yet fruitful, i plant seeds within my lines.

this world can be ugly, but i could never be blind.

make sense of nonsense, make order out of chaos.

fair is not a fact and karma never takes days off. 

be offended less, take the jewel out of the thorns.

a man can say nothing to leave my heart torn.

learn from adversity, run to the things u fear.

dont crumble and let this world see your tears.

i would rather be a  tiger that lives for a day.

than a Sika deer who lives and runs forever.

Definition of Success

I'm sure this sounds corny to most, but I received my purple star on my Ebay (500 perfect feedback ratings). It was pretty hard to maintain because that numer depends on my customers. I looked through my list and 75% of the items sold was my art. Since i was a kid, i was the "weird kid doodling" and marching to my own drummer. "Art is cool, but it doesn't pay" said most everyone. Guess what? My art is hanging in 47 states and 6 countries. This past month,our art was the difference between eating or not on some days. Ill never be famous for art or writing but that was never was my goal. I know I've touched people that felt like no one understood them. That's better than any money they can print. I have no ego, but today I feel like my voice and visions were heard. Don't ever give up on what u love.  Money is not the ruler of success.
