Sweet Artisan


I need art

The kind of painting that makes you squint your eyes and tilt your head

The english essay that evokes your deepest thinking

The poem that tears your heart open at the seams that you have so strategically sewn shut

The song that gives you words when you're speechless

I need art to give me a level head

To bring me back when I’m living with the dead

I need the kind of art that is so refreshing that it almost breathes for you

Because without breathing,there is no life

And without life, there is no art

I need art
