we are
brief spots
on the canvas of time
living beings
undefined

breathing
consuming
creating
and often unknown

how, if at all
will the world view us
when we move on

will they ever know
the creativity or imagination
that lived within us

we are, each of us
a unique template
to go a lifetime
undiscovered and unshared
is the greatest of all crimes

so
go now
open that cage
release your beast
and share your gift with the world

if we’re only meant to be
brief spots on time
let’s fill the fucking canvas
