[ Featuring Chris Bernstorf ]
The first time I met Sarah she said that if I ever wanted to become an artist some day
I would have to dig deep inside myself and create something of expression
And I remember telling her I already sold 10 thousand records and felt like
I had put in enough time to at least call myself an artist and she said that creating entertainment
And creating art are very different things, and she said that the only way
That you can really create art is if it's honest expression of something
You can't express yourself if you don't know who you are
I was upset that she said that but there was still a part of me that was inspired
And uh, looking back on the experience of creating music and putting everything in
I can say that it wasn't worth. It wasn't worth losing the ones that
I had to get here, so she challenged me to write a poem about the things
I wish I knew how to say.
So that's what this poem is a response to that
