Pain Creates Creativity
November 28, 2012
Break me until I'm like those other kids
Maybe then I can feel
I can write
And create
I can see the blacks and blues
Instead of all the pretty colors
I've always been happy
But happy makes me sad
Happy is boring
I want to be mad
What's fun isn't good
The goods in the bad
So hurt me
Convert me
Change me
Make me those kids who not only make art
But are art themselves
I want to be a portrait of pain and
Trouble and bruises
And scars
So i can write a rhyme and
Spit some bars or
Sing a song of
Sadness or
Dance along with madness
Make me
Art
