A short poem about being creative as a means of survival and life after death.

-So Much Space-
by
Keaton Foster

*Vignette5* *Vignette5* *Vignette5* *Vignette5* *Vignette5*


Outside the box
Outside my mind
No prison to confine
I am completely free
Bound by nothing
In nothing I truly believe
Such freedom screams
Express everything as conceived
So much space
To create
So much space
To embrace
The perilous nature
Of so many ways
Has brought me here
To this present POV
At first, I was unsure
Now, I feel quite safe
No one can hurt me here
Now one can confine me
I will never again
Be put into any cage
Unrestricted I live my life
Unhinged, all I do is write
The words are my truth
I’ll be dammed if I lie
Any lack of honesty
Goes against the grain
Shame has no place
Within the folds of every line
I am not concerned
With what others define
I know what I mean
Interpretation changes much
In varying ways
For all involved but me
What I start with
Is always what I end with
So much space
I am completely free
Outside the box
Outside my mind
No prison to confine
If I can imagine it
Then I can create
Line for line
Word for word
I wonder will I
Ever be more than
A pen to the blank page
The answer to such a question
Concerns me least of all
As long as I have the spark
As long as I have a place to start
Then the words will flow
And I know that unlike me
These words will remain
Long after all that I am
Is gone…
