Feb 2014
see, I was drowning in unfamiliar waters
it was like I had taken permanent residency in a country that didn't want me
yet, I insisted on staying
it was as comfortable as a laying on bed of roses
the petals were pretty but the thorns dug deep
life was so mundane

then you came...
I didn't know who you were
I didn't where you're from
but, your words touched me
to the core of my being they resuscitated me
from my heart failure
and with every piece I stabilized

see you pulled me out of my coffin of unused talent
brought me back to the land of living
reminding me that though I thought my heart was gone
my soul was still alive and for as long as I breath
I live but what is life without my art?
