To Write To Breathe To LIve


The power of poetry cannot be truely expressed

The power to convey every thought

Every emotion

Every need

Every want.

My teacher told me,

If you cannot speak it

Write it.

If you feel it,

Write it.

To feel is human,

To write is art.

Art is abstract

Art is emotion,

Art is a safe haven.

Art is a hobby.

Art is a life.

To write is to breathe,

To breathe is to live.

Art is life

Life is art.
