I Drew Lines

I drew a line in the chalk I tasted freedom I touched the moon I saw the air conforming around human nature I danced in bliss I smelt emotion The sweet aroma of artificial joy I drew lines in the chalk I drew lines But these lines become permanent The lines in the chalk became the lines on my soul. These lines didn't make me jovial But caged my mind I drew lines To set trapped insides free To dance in the sky To become light To be wind I smelt only what I could see And what I saw were lines A gradual flow of red streams A visual art form of relief I drew two lines But they weren't in the chalk. But I was an artist

I love the poem, It's hard to fight depression, When you know no one cares, When you know it didn't matter if you were here or not, When your all alone, Especially when your just a kid.
