The Artist
– Jessica Nielsen
Always a smile upon her face
A giggle you just have to embrace
An artist at heart, she wanted to be
Slowly noticing that nobody sees
Her bright light started to dim
Shadows and darkness forming within
Feeling lower than ever, not able hide
She feared, she cried, she almost died
Not knowing who she was anymore
There came a ring at her door
There was but one, who would say
Don’t quit, don’t stop, don’t delay
That day she woke right up
Opened her eyes and in ran luck
Now amongst the crowded rooms
You’ll not forget her glow of truth
Never wanting to give up again
Her love, desire, strength will win
She’s come further than the rest
Putting forth only her very best
Now she breathes, walks with stars
Amongst ones we all envy from afar
