I have to agree with your philosophy. Even if no one else likes what you've done, you've still expressed yourself in a creative way. That's the true power of artistic endevors isn't it?
Good job on your poem :)
Am I An Artist? Are You An Artist? Or, Are They Artists? I Paint Therefore I Am! Let The Clouds Separate, Let The Muse In! I Paint Therfore I Am! Let Inspiration Shine As Bright As The Sun And Run As Fierce As The Wind! I Paint Therefore I Am! Wings Spread Out As Free As A Bird! The Classic Ancient Gods Set It In My Hand! I Paint Therefore I Am!
