Finalist in the 'Read Write Repeat 2015' competition
I am the wings of the Phoenix of legends.
Every curve, bend and line shall be drawn.
I hold the tongue of the ancient silver dragon.
To utter the words of peace and control.
I have the voice of the lost mermaid.
Within sync and harmony with each pitch.
I retain the mind of the old wise man.
Memories of mistakes, passing down with each generation.
I feel the heart of the holy angel.
Memorise the love and passion, all forms of life and literature.
I keep the pride of a king.
Never to abandon my aspirations, never to abandon my people.
I honour the perseverance of a hero.
Ambitious, responsible and benevolent to all.
I am but all an artist and ever changing.
Human, thoughtful, faithful and creative, forever young.
