You And Me


Can I Create

The laptop I write with
It's smarter than me
I've written 1,000 lines of code
But they won't save me

Can I Create

An imagination so vivid 
I see an undiscovered Van Gogh
There are over 1,000 strokes of color
But they have nowhere to go

Can I Create

A way to leave this island
I am not isolated
Over 1,000 grains of sand
But they leave  - only attached to my skin

Can I Bring

An escape
Art and Code - not alike, equal
But they save me 
Without a sequel
