'painted Words'

They added color A dull canvas void of emotion They added fear, shook things up and added laughter Thereafter Every emotion you ever felt but were fearful to admit They sketched it with unique and sometimes simple words Some did it for recognition Some did it to give you a voice So you don't feel alone in the crowd Dead poets painted it, For you
