art is my own safe place
each night i shed my skin on stage
then put it back on with every page

art is my own safe place
each word i write helps me escape
everything i draw takes a new shape

art is my own safe place
acting helps me break out of my cage
i let the lines dissolve my rage

art is my own safe place
i know that words can make a change
because writing keeps the demons away

art is my own safe place
i put meaning into every play
artists know how to weaken chains

art is my own safe place
my imagination gets me through the day
creation is the only way
