she writes
these words are all that she lives for
these lies are her only truths
these people, friends she would die for
her heart and mind they soothe
she writes for these words are her only freedom
in these pages a universe unfolds
all promises now cannot be broken
all wishes and dreams are now told

he paints
these strokes are all that he lives for
these lies are his only truths
these colors, to see, he would die for
his heart and mind they soothe
he paints for his visions of tomorrow
on this canvas, a universe unfolds
he catches joy, despair, and sorrow
all wishes and dreams are now told
