We are not just writers.
We do more than weave words into pictures,
Coloring pages, splashing prismatic hues with only black and white.
We do not just twist and turn imaginations to our design.
We create connections. A bond between reader and character.
We create pain, joy, rage, sympathy...for people who don't necessarily exist.
We create an escape. A way out of a world that is too mundane or too tortuous to bear.
We share the numerous worlds in our minds, linking lonely souls through the stories from our passionate hearts.

We are not just musicians.
We do not just recite our thoughts with decorated rhymes.
We do more than strum a pretty chorus, a catchy tune.
We reach out to the world.
We bare our very souls, our very identity.
We extend our emotions, searching for kindred spirits,
Praying we are not alone. Praying someone else can understand the turmoil that life brings.
Bringing relief to those who also seek.

We are not just performers.
We do not just embody those who we are not.
We do not just entertain others with scripted plots.
We do not simply rehearse endlessly for a grand show.
We portray passion, truth, complexity, lies. Life.
We remind others that there are no small parts in the grand scheme.
We are proof that no one is insignificant.

We are not just photographers.
We do not just aim our camera and click at whatever pleases us.
We do not just dedicate our time to subjects that seem 'ordinary'.
We are visionaries. We see the beauty in all things.
We provide perspectives of life through multiple angles.
We capture moments that are unretrievable and make them immortal.
We preserve life as it is now, and let it echo into eternity.

We are not just artists.
We do not just design with simple lines.
We do more than express our views in our unique style.
We create windows into our minds.
We pour our hearts onto the canvas, splashing colors of our experiences, emotions, dreams.
We silently speak volumes, painting thousands of words.
We all see the world in our own way...and share it.

We are creators.
We create hope, produce inspiration.
We provide peace to the troubled.
We support the disheartened, for we have all been there.
We fuel passion, revive it, as we share it.
We are the voices of many, crying out as one.
We are the legacy of the masters before us, and we will carry on.
We are not artists, but Artists.
We are more.
I truly don't know where this one came from. I can vaguely remember watching something (I pretty sure it was Code Geass), next thing I know I'm writing this. Well, I'm pretty sure every artist knows it. I am awed by the people dedicated and determined to excel in their craft. And for that I salute you.
