Art is a Verb

Art - Noun
1.the quality, production, expression, or realm, according to aesthetic principles, of what is beautiful, appealing, or of more than ordinary significance.
2.the class of objects subject to aesthetic criteria; works of art collectively, as paintings, sculptures, or drawings: a museum of art; an art collection.
3.a field, genre, or category of art: Dance is an art.

I look up the word to perhaps find a true meaning to it. But alas i fail. That seems to happen quite often. I cross these words in my head trying to convince myself its not true but find that undeniable passion to fail. I find it strange that people find art in failure. I fail to be all i can be. I strive for excellence but everyone else is expecting me to fail. Wanting me to fail. Not as an artist but as a person. I was told last night by someone that my failure is art. A bittersweet anthem of what it is to be a true human being. To be a devil's deviant, not his advocate. A true sin. Kasher harsh words blaring in my head that "art is hard." Kasher you lie! Failure is the easiest part of life. Art is a verb.
