The Price For Creativity.
A poem that examines if creativity and suffering are linked.

Is there a price to pay when one creates?
For creativity doesn’t happen for free.
If the price isn’t paid, one would stagnate,
For once the price is paid, one has the vision to see.
To create means to give a piece of your soul,
For in everything one creates, a piece of the soul resides,
Thus, a creator will never be whole,
For he’s taken apart piece by piece, it cannot be otherwise.
Is suffering the ultimate price for creating?
For the world benefits whilst the creator is being deteriorated,
For at such a price, the creator produces nothing short of amazing,
Although parts of him are being sacrificed for the world, it will be reiterated.
Creativity is powerful, but a double-edged sword,
The benefits are worshipped, but the price shouldn’t be ignored.
