As An Artist

As an Artist
I have faced a canvas burning bright
All of it empty
All of it white

As an Artist
I have felt the fear 
Of being unable to fulfill
The visions I hold dear

As an Artist
I have wondered long
What is my reason?
What is my visual song?

As a struggling Artist
What is it that I really want to say?
What is my true purpose
Why am I here today?

As a non-struggling Artist I do still wonder too !
