these empty metaphors are in vain, cant you see that the grass is greener when it rains

Art is an extremely precious thing. I do not know what to classify it as because it may be a noun or a verb or sometimes coming alive to make its presence known. I'm very privileged that i'm quite a musical person. And i'm slowly learning one small aspect of visual art - photography. Art to me, are in 3 popular area; namely Music, Dance & the Visual aspect. Correct me if i'm wrong aye. Amongst these 3, i feel that music has the sole power to break down the walls inside a person; walls of hatred, rejection, fear or loss. Dance has the ability to express itself really well but most of the time requires again, the music accompaniment. Visual Art is a deep one. Photography tends to capture certain emotions rather than expressing. But what the artiste is feeling affects the result of the artwork.

In this modern day and age, we use these things to express our emotions, views on things that we thought we can never change. But you'll never know how, one song you write, one artwork you draw can change the world. Like how Jason Mraz wrote "I'm Yours" in a limited edition EP which God knows who even owns it. And the next minute, it became the Grammy Song Of The Year.
