Take up the fightMy mother's tears bend my spine. / Her weigh bends the wood that has made me strong like a tree in a storm. / The water from her tear helps my feet sink roots into the ground, only to hope it keep us from washing away.

ArtPoetry is a hard life. Writing is a hard life. Art, in any way, shape or form is a hard life. But we do it because we feel it in our souls. We might not necessarily be good at it. It might not be able to earn us a living, and all the words in our heart may threaten to tear us apart, or to overflow and drown the world. It may seem like too much of a burden, to have the power of the pen, to feel like you're drifting out on an ocean of emotions that flicker so quickly past you don't have time to grasp it and put it on paper, thoughts and feelings too beautiful to ever be captured by words. And so many times we want to walk away, to stop, to give up. But I think what makes it worth it isn't the result. It doesn't matter what happens in the end. Whether the words are clumsy or not. Whether anybody publishes it or not. Whether or not anyone else approves, even. It doesn't matter in the end. What matters is the journey. And honestly, for people like us? The journey itself is enough.

Midnight RamblingI'm chasing the high, you're chasing fame / You talk about change, but I'm the one with the aim / Gonna light up the night like a spark
