Ser Artista

Being an artist is shooting without bullets
It's seeing life in the dead and flying without wings
It's always standing, even when you don't feel like it
It's being able to see the good, even in bad times

Being an artist is creating a story, even if your story has already ended
Being an artist is believing in glory when packing your dreams in a suitcase
Being an artist is traveling against the wind when the sky doesn't look so good
Being an artist is rhyming feelings using elements that no one else sees

Being an artist is fucking with passion
Always trusting time even if you have gray hair
It's making the nights your mornings
Making your dark circles live like sisters

Being an artist is more than being the scum of what they claim to be good people
Being an artist is not being afraid to knock on that door that a hundred others have knocked on
Being an artist is starting over when you've been around for a while and they still ask 'who are you?'
Being an artist and making your body resist even when the world insists on you being more like it

Being an artist is also
Always going against the train
And believing in yourself even if a hundred say no
It's adding color to yourself
Even if today you're in black and white
It's making the world feel your voice

Being an artist is dodging bullets
From crazy contracts that clip your wings
Creating a shield in case you slip
And if the air runs out, you come back and exhale
Being an artist is making a lyric heal the heart of those who are not well
Being an artist is becoming optimistic even for the most pessimistic and helping them stand up

Being an artist is also
Always going against the train
And believing in yourself even if a hundred say no
It's adding color to yourself
Even if today you're in black and white
It's making the world feel your voice
