Poem with Artwork

By Michael GiglioPublished 7 years ago 1 min read

If all of the madness of the world

could be condensed down into one

little poem...

I'd do it.

If all of the sadness in my heart

could be ripped apart from my spirit

and poured out into a lyric

I'd do it...

If just one life could be saved

by a fleeting moment; brave, as to

allow another to escape themselves

for a mere moment,

I'd do it...

If time could be stopped; removed

from the clock, and tucked away

in a tool box in God's attic...

I'd do it...

If nothing ever became, of

these words that ran from the

heart of my cage

- to the lines

of this page...

I would do it,

anyways.
