A Poem | By Reese Bair

By Reese Bair

I am a silly girl who loves to draw
I wonder if I will become a world famous artist…
I hear the booming voices at the auction for my art
I see the vibrant pieces of art made by my two hands, hung up in a gallery
I want to create a feeling as you look at my art
I am a silly girl who loves to draw

I pretend to walk across a blank canvas spreading colors as I go
I feel the feathery bristles on my paintbrush
I worry that I will forget about doing art when I’m older
I cry when my dad is not there to see my accomplishments
I am a silly girl who loves to draw

I understand that things might not turn out the way I envisioned
I say that it is okay to mess up
I dream of creating the images I see in my head
I try to put 120% effort in my work
I hope i get a degree in art in college
I am a silly girl who loves to draw
