_{Artists are not
What society wants them to be.
We are not
Beautiful
Glossy
Magazine Style
Catwalk made
Amazing
Hot
Perfect.
Some of us aren't thin
Some of us are.
Some of us aren't tall
Some of us are.
Some of us have nice breasts
Some of us have pretty features
Some of us have a sexy figure
Some of us have smooth skin.
Some of us don't.
But one thing is the same
Tried and tested
True and true.
None of us are perfect.

Today's music industry.
Some of them
May have had some sort of flaw
Imperfection
Oddity
About them at one point.
But by the time they hit mainstream,
That's been hit out
Like the dent in your car.

Today's fashion industry.
Never strange.
Always perfect,
No matter what.
From beginning to end.
Continuously flaunting,
Their Barbie doll looks
and Kens on their arms.
Causing problems worldwide
Like anorexia and bulimia
And depression and low self esteem.
They cause more trouble
Than they are worth.

Today's television
And film industry.
Perhaps they may show some difference,
Something unique about them.
When they start, at least.
But after the first season,
Or the third episode,
That's been kicked out.
Covered by a veil of
Social network buzz and
Snapping cameras.

No one is perfect.
But today's society
Likes to make us think otherwise.
That's how art is different.
Along with their creators.
Artists do not go
By what their friends, family
Teachers, community,
Tell them.
They defy
The very world itself.}
