We perceive ourselves through emotions
that visually capture our identity
We transfer those emotions into an art form
that ultimately becomes who we are

Daring to aim higher
Willing to tackle any obstacles ahead
Reaching beyond our skies
To make a voice unknown, known

Perhaps there is more
More than just creating oneself
Unaware what’s beyond our stars

And yet we still move forward
Into a future, a future of endless possibilities
And everything we create, we just leave behind

-Paul Jacob Bashour
