You'll be alright


Open for things to add a certain creativity
The bearer of the pen, pencil, idea, or brush
Must think about all options, positively or negativity,
Before they can make the canvas blush.
Before the blank becomes bright and flowing,
Every idea thought of in an order known,
Before it can be up for those who want it showing,
In the artist mind it must first be shown.
Before an idea can be written down on paper
And spoken in the form of pure true word,
Or the opposite, be it negative and be shaped
Into something less likely to be spoken or heard,
All are started without a single notion,
As empty as fresh Blank Canvases.
All, when put in a directed motion
Come out the way that explicitly says
"I did this and I'm proud of it!
You can't undo what has already been done.
My long worked for project has finally been completed
In my own way, I have artistically won."


The author's comments:
When I was writing this piece, I was thinking about how my ideas jumped around in my head but never really came into one place. They seemed like blank canvases, never filling the emptiness of the page. Then as I began to finish, I realized that maybe ideas that bounce around aren't bad but in fact good for some.
