Every time I walk into an art museum,

my heart takes a fall for the worst. Or the best.

Because seeing those crazy polygons

Makes it leap right out of my chest.

Or...Or when I see those magnificent colors blend

My life is sent to Heaven, then comes back again!

A flutter in my stomach at Japanese Calligraphy.

And a sight at "Starry Night" just makes me feel so free.

And I can't get enough of music

That's an Art you can NEVER control

Because the thumping beat of techno

Brings nothing but happiness to my soul.

A mellow classic symphony

Is enough to calm me down

And hip-hop ... Poetry with a beat?!

Nothings better than that sound.

When I see prancing ballerinas

My eyes enlarge around 12x more.

And I love the feeling my feet get when

They run over to the dance floor.

Boy! Do my hands get shaky

As I read books of the unimaginable!

And when ideas overflow me as I write poetry ....

Well, the thrill is incomprehensible!

There are so many more things

Like when I hear someone sing,

My mind just wants to ... take FLIGHT!

And even we people are such a creation,

No one should want to miss THAT sight!

All the different types of makeup, hairstyles, clothing, bags

Man....It just never ENDS!

All the origami, architecture, sculptures

I SWEAR, IT'S TOO MUCH TO COMPREHEND!!!

And if you think that art is worthless,

You may want to think again.

Because if you do, you'll miss out on a world

Of beauty, outside and within.

So if someone says art is stupid,

Don't be scared to say, "You're just delirious."

Because nothing, and I mean NOTHING,

will ever be better than ART, period.

M is for Mature at a young age, I know more than I am expected to know. A is for Adaptable, It's not hard for me to just 'Go with the Flow'. K is for Knowledgeable, I believe that we learn something new everyday. I is for Illustrative, I want to be a leading example for those who are astray. Y is for Youthful, I'm young, yes I know, with a great life set in place. A is for Amazing, from my toes up to my face. Yes, I am MAKIYA, a name you needn't remember, but will never forget. A name that's smoother than a casanova, that's more dangerous than a public threat. A name that makes sinners confess, a name that gives greater to those who feel less A name that is happy, that is free of stress, A name that everyday, is truly blessed. A name that is unique, a name that is free, a name that cares about equality. A name that is beautiful, a name that I wear. This name is truly mine, and that's all that I care.
