Welcome To My Gallery

So you want to be an artist?
Are you ready for some times
of pain and madness?

Welcome to my gallery
of failed ambitions.
Pull up a chair and pipe
and muse upon your greatness

before you worry about the bills
and the void,
the indifference,
the scorn that awaits.

Welcome to your quest for something
worthy of your name,
your quest to seize the best,
of your soul's marrow.

Take your oil and your earth
and run to a grave of glory.

Will you pay the price?
Will you pay the price?

Welcome to my gallery.
