Regards to My Nothingness


With words of poison in my direction, I am an artist.
Express feeling with color and word;
paintbrush and pen.

 

I am not a sculpturesque soldier -
expect me not to hold my tongue,
keep ideas silent as the ignorant lamb.

 

May others appreciate the beauty
and aesthetics I grace upon the world,
not cracked eggshells beneath my toes.

 

Within each soul lies flawed design,
even writers with illustrious words
and the ability to write with every grammatical -

 

Perfection.

Nice to meet you! Feel free to call me Sam! I'm 25 years old with both a B.A. in Visual Art and in English/Creative Writing. I have a love for dark and unusual free verse poetry. While that makes up most of my portfolio, I do have a few lighter poems. Be warned, I do touch on some pretty real subject matter. Take caution.
