Art is important to me

Brush strokes along a page

Poking out fingerprints

With paint all over my hands

Chipped nails from clawing

Down mixed paper

A mash of colour

Never ending only beginning

Thoughts of only charcoal

And multi coloured pencil

Mind on matter

Mind over matter

Paper crumbled over spattered table cloths

Only been changed once

Since we’ve started

Ink all over

Bleeding through colours

Colour after colour changing

A mixed rainbow of opportunity

Calling me away from pain

Speaking out through the page

Reminding me of hope

That I can begin again
