Animate

Sharp letters formed to surprise,
Many strokes of sickness and creativity.

Hard handwriting and imaginative words.

These meanings of literature become alive,
as every beat from the bright blue vein smashed onto the plastic of a pen.
Passion, pain, love and fear flowed from out of the open journal.
This is the power of a poet to animate a page,

and consume every being.

I wasn't sure where you were going at first with this but it quicky took a pace and rolled well with it. A strong ending and I must say powerful point. Well done
