Is it dark enough?

Is it light enough?

Is it felt?

At least it is real!

Real-life feelings

Not always dark

Not always light

Can be very negative at times

And very uplifting at other times

Not changing it

Like it

Or hate it

Don’t read it

Or read it

Just freeing whatever inside

Not for fun

But for a connection

For sanity

Thanks for reading it

No matter how shallow

Or deep poetry is

Still appreciate it

Art is personal

Be sensitive about others' art

    For something to be art either someone presents it as such or someone sees it as such. Excellent words
