Pain into Words have Power
Pain.
art is pain manifested.
happy people don’t make art. happy people enjoy art.
artists make art to work through pain.
artists can see one another’s pain in their art.
if you think art is good, then do you think pain is good?
or at least useful?
from their pain, artists make art, that happy people enjoy.
museums are like old dungeons
full of the ghosts of people’s pain.
When pain is transformed into words
they then hold power.
Words can’t break bones
but they can break the spirit.
if the pen is mighty
what does that make the mouth?
the bruises on our souls
aren’t seen, but felt.
healing is never ending
so have compassion and
write write write
