The Visionaries

Art doesn't have to make sense 
but with the canvas at our mercy 
our imagination takes over
we see exactly what we want to do  
and attempt to bring it to life 
by painting the perfect picture 
is that even possible 
some would say no
and reality may agree with them 
because no matter how good we are 
it may never look how we envisioned 
that sounds like life in a way 
we have the allure of being perfect 
or coming as close to it as we can 
all stemming from this idea
of how we see ourselves 
but we're the visionaries after all 
so the journey will continue
it just shouldn't be for perfection
because we're human beings 
destined for imperfection 
art doesn't have to make sense 
nor does it have to be perfect 
it just has to come from somewhere
