Creativity: My Oxygen

Creativity is my oxygen: I can't live without it.

Like my soul, I must express what's inside

From the depths of the inner workings of my mind

Creativity lives...it lives in the pain

and the adversities, the darkness that remains,

But it also lives in my happiness, joy and laughter

Creating things is my happily ever after.

It's in the ever-expanding reaches of my brain

Firing up my neurons, making me feel sane

Creativity, you see, is much more than that to me

Creativity, to me, is a beautiful melody,

A beating heart, an old song, a new song

Creativity makes me feel there's a place I belong

Everything I am, everything I can be,

Everything I want, and everything I see

It's all fueled by my creativity,

And that's part of what makes me, me

The person I am; Anne Marie.
