ART

                                        ART

the world goes round & round
but sometimes it seems so up-side down that
i just want to scream and shout at
the top of my lungs
to a world
where no one will hear me.
you see?
that's why i stay silent. Because
pictures scream louder than words ever will
and therefore
they're larger than life itself.
there's no other way to explain it.
If i didn't have ART
then
I wouldn't have words.
Even what i'm writing now could
never describe what i'm feeling. Because
how can you describe anger without the color
red?
How can you describe happiness & excitement
without an explosion of color?
Across one single page or canvas
i can tell more of a story
than a thousand page book. Because
that's all it takes
- one picture -
to describe what no one can say
- one picture -
2 get a hundred minds thinking in a thousand different ways
- one picture -
to tell YOUR story.
there's no other way to describe it.
no matter how hard i try - it
never comes out right (not with words anyway)
but just like writers get block,
artists get stuck too. Because
how can you paint your emotions when
you're trying not to feel? Because
it hurts too much to realize your
memories are real. So
you try and repress all emotions
and it's just one huge commotion. Because
you want to be heard but
your words lay flat on the paper
instead of jumping off the page.
This is when the world is up-side down
and it hurts so much to stare down
at that little sheet of 8 by 11 in a half inch
paper and not have anything
to say
so it stays _____.
