Must I Suffer For My Art (Peaceful Poetry) by Ryan "Little King" Marshall

Must I Suffer For My Art?
Must I cry artistic tears?
is it what leaks out from my heart
that isolates me from my peers?
If my love for songs and rhyme
is what keeps me breathing breath
Than why is it at the same time
it's what draws me close to death?
Must I live for what's exquisite ?
Is Exquisite in my soul?
Will the anguish that escorts it
be my artworks greatest foe?
Or will it be it's triumph
and the thing that gets the praise
is my artwork my whole life or just a phase?

I had to feature this poem. Take it in, all the aspiring artist out there ask your self this question...hell I asked myself the question as well.

Trey Anthony Productions Presents: Secrets of a Black Boy

written by Actor and Playwright Darren Anthony. Directed by Kimahli Powell, with writing contributions by Executive Director and Dramaturge trey Anthony, Secrets of a Black Boy opens September 25th, 2009 at The Music Hall. Secrets of a Black Boy embodies the voice of five young black men whose lives circle around the area of Regent Park. This play gives insight in the very real situations young black men face from, black male culture, interracial dating, commitment phobia, gun violence, sexuality and abuse. No subject will be left unexplored...

I am determined to see this play. And maybe if I'm lucky get an interview with the writer or actors. My new motto is "anything is possible." Hell, the worst they can do is say no...or call the cops...
