"The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls."- Pablo Picasso
When you were born, my mother asked me if i wanted to hold you, and I said no. Because I did not want to drop you and shatter your firework exuberance. You were a sunshine ray, a solar flare, in my already colorful world. Your skin was clear and warm. and your cheeks were filled with a rosey red And you had hair sprouting on your precious garden head. From Day One, I have helped maintain that garden. it's vines grew high, and it's roots spread far, affecting everyone they touched. Every time you smile, it sheds a little light on that garden. Making sure you grew so tall and so high like the sunflower you are, and whenever any one tried to chop you down, or stomp on your roots, I'd kick their *** However, our relationship is not perfect. I yell, you yell. I kick, you kick. It’s you, and no one else, that I fight with more . it's you and, no one else, that causes me to yell and fling curse words like shattered pieces of glass across my house. It's you and no one else that blows wind into my storm causing a tornado of emotions amongst my home, tearing it apart brick by brick. but it’s our relationship, our love, that adds liveliness in my small world. It's you and no one else that Id rather have in your place. From Day One, I have loved you.

"From Day One"/"Sister"
You jump in The water is cold yet soothing You begin to sink It gets darker However, it's relaxing You are taken from the world And retched **** left on earth The water envelops you Goes in your nose And you stop You don't think or breathe Or talk You are alone with your thoughts But alas, you are saved But is it really being saved If you don't want to be there at all?

Underwater
The noise is considered loud or annoying But to you, it's beautiful The rhythmic metal against the surface Sends you into a trans, making you not stop Never stop You keep going And hear nothing else "But you're a boy!" You don't care They're blocked out by a love of what you do A love of what you are It inspires you It powers you to keep going Through the sneers and looks When you accomplish a hard move Your love grows stronger and never dies You love to tap
