when you make art
you don't have to share it
you can keep it all to yourself
because spending time
digging deep inside your mind
for ideas
and creating things from scratch
works the right side of the brain
reduces stress
brings you joy
that is enough reason
to just do it
without the pressure of having to show it
to others
it can be yours
and yours alone
