This ain’t regular coming from me they ain’t want me to win!!

I already won but it came with biggest loses I ever had.

I cannot tell if it is a blessing from an old god or lovely dark art only that he holds my heart.

The art of harvesting pain – poetry.

The glass is broken into particles that now accept themselves as art.

Art has a special way of connecting dots from lost to found.

No matter how often we draw the lines, we will cross them – my favorite type of art.

Treat a work of art like a prince; let it speak to you first.

I have mastered the art of smiling when all I want to do is scream.
