Because We Are

Because we are eccentric They call us mad. Because we express ourselves They call us proud. Because we love the stage They call us crazy. Because we are famous They gossip about us. Because we have talent They grow green with envy. Because we are blessed They attack us. Because we live for the applause They groan as we astonish the world.

Oh, I like this so much, Kudzai. Every line so stinging, but oh-so-true. Those of us who are artistic, whether a bit (like me) or more (perhaps like you) pay quite a price for 'daring to be different.' Now that I am older, sometimes I forgot how steep that price was. Your write brings it all back home. This is a FAVE for me. Best wishes, gw
