I Believe That Art Heals

I believe art heals.
i want to turn this pain
into a painting.
i want to sing
until the song
makes me feel strong
again…
when i feel ill
make it an illustration of life.
out of this scar
make a shining star.
I want to make my loved one emerge
out of whatever stage cancer
as an internationally recognized on-stage dancer.
I want to use this breaking heart
to produce record-breaking art.
I want to use the blood from my bleeding
to make a piece of art to immortalise you.
