Art Doesn't Make Money
by Rachel Moravansky
Art doesn't make money
Is what I'm told everytime I answer the question, what do you want to be
Art doesn't make money
Says my parents who push their professions
Art doesn't make money
Implies my counselors when they ask how I'll pay the bills
So what does make money?
Engineering, science, computers,
Everything I'm not
Art doesn't make money
That's okay, neither does a lot of other professions
Art doesn't make money
But it makes me happy
