It Is

Freedom,

Wings-

Anything I want,

It is

Mine

To put on the page.

Creating worlds

Better than this one

In black and white type;

Drawing pictures,

Seen with the mind if not with the eyes,

With lines and indentations;

Making people

Come alive though void of breath

Through the will of an idea;

It is

Choice, expression, liberation,

Art, talent, color,

Life rewritten, life relived, life imagined,

The taste of words in your mouth,

Things you've always wanted to say but couldn't,

Your alter-ego,

A gift for someone you choose to be gifted by it,

A coping mechanism,

An escape,

A tangible piece of self on paper.

It is

Everything you want it,

Whatever you want it,

To be.
