Living Words

They say a picture can tell you a thousand words, but for me, a picture is a picture and nothing more. I use my words just as much as an art as say an artist and his paintings. Just as an artist conveys his emotions through his work of art, I do so through my words. Every stroke of a pen or pencil is like a stroke of a paint brush. With each stroke of either utensils brings forth a painters or writers deepest and strongest emotions. Even if I only believe a picture is only a picture, I still cannot quite fathom the amazing artistic ability that lies within some artists. Just as an artist would almost feel as nothing if he had not his art, the same would be true for me if I had not my words. My words are my life and without them you may as well cast me into the deepest and darkest void and seal my lips shut as so I could not call out for help. And so as my words are my life, I breathe through them, and for as long as my words remain in this world, so shall I.
