I always wanted to be an artist - 

to capture life in two dimensions,

to see beyond the commonplace - 

who knows that makes us tick

I always wanted to have a medium - 

to secure fleeting, flying ideas,

to display my heart and soul to the masses - 

that isn't just my outfit size

I always wanted to be an artist - 

to blend imaginary and fact,

to color the world with my perspective - 

So I pick up my favorite pen.
