They accused & taunted me,
They killed me every moment…
Yet I was alive as I lived in fantasy,
Offering my two cents' worth to torment.
PHOTO PROMPT – Copyright – Madison Woods |
That day when they crossed every limit,
I decided to leave
their world unfair…
I followed my own compass with grit,
Till I reached a place beyond compare…
Starry Night by Alex Ruiz |
Twinkling stars & heavens in my sight!
Having always aimed for the stars,
The artist in me squealed in delight!
My colors are free without bars...
As I gazed at the starry-sky,
Overwhelmed & thankful,
I knew my dreams would fly…
My canvas will be beautiful.
