I Am the Artist

To explain... To those that read my words... I write from my soul... My true self... Sometimes I can place myself... Into the minds of others... And express their thoughts... I can feel empathy... And express it in word... The best I can... Sometimes it will take me... To a dark place... And it will take time... To recover... And I will gain nothing from it... But if I can share the word... If I can help in any way... I will express it... I will transform random thoughts... This confusion of life... Into an expression of art... I can say any message... And bare my soul... To the world... And I can disguise it as art... To blur the line between... Reality and fiction... From prose to poetry... And I do this... Because I am the artist.
