Finally something
simple,
The only place where my
stress can’t weigh me down
I carry only physical
weight,
A backpack with paint
and my modern necessities

Once I stare at the
wall,
Nothing else exists,
Just a fresh canvas,
Where my mind conveys
its creativity

Each line, each color,

The messages composed
like music notes in my head
They shoot into my hand
And are released by
every touch of the cap

And the lazy just sit in
their house and stare,
While millions are

While there are other
women wearing only rags,
And they haven’t even
laid eyes on a price tag.

so proud to wave its flag?
