Me? They’ve Got Me Wrong

Most people know Michaelangelo as a famous painter, but not many know that he was also a poet. In fact, he wrote a poem how uncertain he felt about painting.

Giovanni, come agitate
for my pride, my poor dead art! I don’t belong!
Who’s a painter? Me? No way! They’ve got me wrong.
