The Creator’s Journey

Words by Daouda Leonard, Visual Art by Jonathan Zawada

I am the creative spirit…
A tortured soul…
Afraid to be judged,
Scared of what people may think of me,
Precious with my ideas,
Alone in my thoughts…
Fuck that’s tiring!
So I go inside…
I gather my courage,
I face my fears,
And denounce my insecurities,
I open up…
I breathe, I speak, write, I sing, I draw, I dance, I dream, I move, I love, I feel, I create, freely and openly!

Die free.™
