Why I Create (Volume 3) Poem by The Power_Palace.Poet_Union.Order Sir.

Why I create, even when I am losing
It's my place of province, my sanctuary
Built of pure light, praise and worship
My lighthouse to direct me when I'm lost
For me, it's the ultimate hiding place
An antidote for the dysfunction
Of my family and their twisted religion
My Hightower, standing tall and strong
It's more than just an escape route
From the confusion and chaos of life
It's a soothing lullaby that rejuvenates
My tired mind and weary soul
When I create, I am transported
To a world of my own making
Where I am free to express myself
And let my imagination run wild
I create to cope with life's trauma
For the bullies of my past
The terrorists of my today
And probably tomorrow's struggles too
It's my way of finding belonging
In a world that often feels cold and lonely
Through my art, I am connected
To something bigger than myself
I create for my culture, my people
To rewrite the narrative of black Americans
To reclaim our history, our stories
And celebrate our resilience and strength
When I paint, I am painting my soul
My emotions, my deepest desires
Each brushstroke, a part of me
That I share with the world
I write to give voice to the voiceless
To speak for those who cannot speak
Through my words, I am heard
And my message reaches far and wide
Why I create, it's an essential part of me
A burning passion that cannot be contained
It's my medicine, my therapy
A way to heal and make sense of the world
In my creations, I find peace
A sense of purpose and fulfillment
It's my way of leaving a mark
In a world that can easily forget
So I will keep creating, even when I am losing
For it's in my art that I find myself
My truth, my identity, my purpose
My reason for being, my cornerstone.
Why I create, it's my lifeline, my anchor
In a sea of chaos and uncertainty
It's the light that guides me
Through the storms, the darkness, the unknown.
Why I create, it's simply who I am
A creator, an artist, a storyteller
For without my creations, I am lost
But with them, I am whole, I am me.
