Isn't it funny how art

Isn't it funny how art most imitates life when a body is being drained of it (Hanif Willis-Abdurraqib "The crown ain't worth much")

Isn't it funny how art shows its beauty when you can SEE the tears dripping on the canvas like concentrated colors that could only be released in a nature scene

sometimes I hide my tears away in boxes and hope they will never be seen

Sometimes I pour my body into a page or a song till it cuts so deep

my chest feels free when it's heavy

I've hit home

exhaled into release

I wasn't looking for relief

but sometimes God gives us tools because even he

Can see

that even a little can be

too much
