The Artist Suffers

In a world of dreamers, but I couldn't dream
A world of actors, I couldn't wear a mask
A desire to hide my inner self, constant
I cannot sleep, to dream I must find release
Disguising my being, I make my mind blank
Artists are always suffering, remonstrance
Dissect the flesh, release a spirit of glory
Death is nothing, just take the breath

“Without culture, and the relative freedom it implies, society, 
even when perfect, is but a jungle. This is why any authentic 
creation is a gift to the future.”                          Albert Camus
