You’ve got sadness in you
I’ve got sadness in me
and my works of

are places where the two
sadnesses can meet
and therefore both of us
need to feel less sad.

it should be something that
liberates the soul,
provokes the imagination
and encourages people
to go further.
It celebrates humanity
instead of manipulating it.
