It Makes Me


The words that can flow like water and the dam that holds them back. That piece of paper that is my canvas and that pencil that is my paintbrush. The words that make paint and the feelings that make color. It Makes Me. Something so complex made into something so simple. My words can make a picture, beautiful or not, happing or sad; and a picture with not such pretty things. It Makes Me. Like and artist strokes a color onto a canvas, I write a word on a paper. Like and artist puts perspective in a picture, I put feelings into words. It Makes Me. The words that can flow like water and the dam that holds them back. That piece of paper that is my canvas and that pencil that is my paintbrush. The words that make paint and the feelings that make color. It Makes Me.

I write what I can't say. So take a look into my heart and see me for who I am. A girl with difficult cards dealt to her. Enjoy and share. Love y'all, my beauts and gents! (My Inspiration) ~For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.~ **Jeremiah 29:11 And I write because I'm scared of writing, but I'm more scared of not writing. ~Gloria E. Anzalva
