the artist

 
the rawness of words
said the wrong way can sound terse  
go figure how such simple connotations,  
and nuances in tone can change everything  
 
be careful how you phrase things
you could be speaking in expletives without realizing it
it's up to you the feelings you invoke
 
remember the mind of your reader is an open book
waiting for your thoughts to leave their mark
verses hit grey matter and leave an indentation
the way a word strikes decides the depth of it
 
will you be remembered as the writer;
who further opened the mind of the reader?
the Kandinsky who blew their minds with abstract ideology?  
a Rembrandt who started a new religion?
or just a mad genius unique to your own vision?
 
you are sent out into the world--
with blank minds to imprint upon
show the world today what kind of artist you are
let's make the place beautiful
