"Everyone is different, it's the natural state- it's the facts, it's plain to see. The world's gray enough without making it worse. What we need is individuality!"
- Billy Elliot's "Expressing Yourself"


When I'm alone
the colors pop
and lines curve unnaturally,
creating a new atmosphere
where I am not me.
I fly, I soar,
slicing the clouds.
My fingers pluck at an acoustic guitar,
stringing together notes and chords
that would never have met.
I jump and dodge,
swing and hit,
the hero.
The master.
The creator.
The writer.
