Jowel


I am
 
Young with an ambition to learn
Old with knowledge that churns
 
Tall with sturdy bones
Dark with skin like coal
 
Trying to make myself known
Desires to fill this empty hole
 
Improving my art with precision
Assimilating new things that drive my vision
 
Struggling to stay in school
Refusing to become a working tool
 
Anticipating the day my vision unfolds
Moving on in life with an artistic soul
 
 
am
