Being - Poetry by Nobody: 8:20pm On Mar 08, 2017
I am dirt in the sand,
Given breath -
To defy
The silence that judges me,
The voices of dissent,
The arrogance that shuns me,
The ignorance that doesn't know,
I have dared to know myself,
Show myself and grow,
In my own substance,
But they still will not see me.


I am dirt in the sand,
Given breath -
Taken in the morning,
Misused by day,
To give it back again,
When the evening comes;
And at night, one grave holds it all -
My sins, sorrows and regrets,
They multiply when I'm not myself
Countless, when I distrust myself
And my body finds no room within to rest.


I am dirt in the sand,
Given breath -
To tell a truth,
Of singular tune,
Taken in the morning,
To sing my song by day,
And I sang my song by day,
Sung by night time,
The song that I was given,
No regrets, no sorrows,
To crowd my deathless sleep

A little bit further uphill you'll find the perfect verses. Just keep at it, this is decent.

La beauté de la créativité


Creativity is not limited to craft, nor drawing or painting, it also extends to writing,
Painting with words to express oneself, either in letters or orally.
