Inner artist

Art by Banksy

You liked it, you say? Well you're really too kind!
Which ones and which parts, might I ask, do you mind?
(Could it be? Is it true? That you like what I do?
That I'm not just a fraud with a flawed point of view?)

Oh those were my favorites! You savored them, too?
And how clever you are to make such a review!
(I'm genius! They love me! I've done it at last!
All the doubting and pouting -- that's stuff of the past!)

What's that? Why of course! I would love to hear more!
Oh you say that you don't like the works from before?
(Here it comes - yes I KNEW it - I TOTALLY BLEW it!
My stuff is pure fluff and they clearly seen through it…)

Mmm hmm. Yeah, uh huh. Yeah, I get it. I see.
Just give me a minute... or two... maybe three...
(I'm a FRAUD. I'm a FAKE. Oh for heaven's sake
I'm so DONE WITH THESE PUNS, THIS WHOLE THING’S A MISTAKE!)

What's that? I misheard you? You said that you DO?
You DO like my works from before? Is it true?
(I KNEW it - throughout it, I NEVER DID DOUBT IT!
I’M GENIUS! They’ve seen it! I MAY AS WELL SHOUT IT!)

Well thanks for the praise, even if I'm above it
We artists make art, you see, just for the love of it.
