This is the only way I am able to speak my mind,

Connect with my soul and release my thoughts.

With a pen and paper, I’m able to be me,

Combine my feelings, my thoughts, my struggles, and turn my pain into creativity.

With a pen and paper I can fulfil a dream.

I can be me.

Who am I ?

I am art, craft, product of the African soil born and bred

With my surroundings I create art,

With a pen and paper, I draw dreams

With a pen and paper, I pour my soul

With a pen and paper, I AM ME.
