Sometimes

by Aboveaveragegoalbelowaveragegpa

Sometimes I feel like boiling water 
 
Left on a high flame
 
I will eventually boil over
 
Or dying flames 
 
Left alone 
 
I will eventually fade
 
Both of course are inevitable 
 
But I am much more then these analogies 
 
I am made up of more than my negativity 
 
I am more
 
I am alive and apart of this earth
 
No matter how empty or disconnected I may feel 
 
I am complex
 
Made up many puzzle pieces
 
I just haven't found out how to put myself together 
 
And that's okay 
 
Sometimes I feel like a cloud
 
Untouchable 
 
I will eventually come down 
 
Sometimes
 
I feel like a blank canvas 
 
Full of potential 
 
I will eventually become a masterpiece

Mariah Moreno, 16 years old, a young visual artist. Three short facts about me. As a 16 year old I've had my share of experience and my experiences in and outside my classes contribute to my constant molding and living in this world. My art reflects that. I'd like to pursue a career in art ; that's my long term goal, art makes me happy and I'd love to do it for the rest of my life.
