I express myself
In a way
No one else should be able to
Judge
Never the same thing
Twice
Always trying new things
Once
Art is what i’m
Capable of
And the reason I
Stand out
I express myself
Everyday i’m someone new
But i’m still just
Me
The way i look
Is the way i feel
And the stares i get
Are the reason
Why i’m artistic as hell

Dear Angela,
Your poem “Why I’m Artistic As Hell” is really powerful. I really like how you express yourself in a way that you like, and seems like you do not care about what others think about you. I like how you said that you are someone different everyday but you are still yourself. Keep being artistic as hell and keep making them awesome YouTube videos.
Dear Angela,
I agree that you are very artistic, and a talented person. The pauses you make in your memoir are dramatic, and bring even more meaning to the words you write down. I totally agree when you say, ” Always trying new things, Once,” No harm come from trying something once. I like how you brush off, the words of haters and keep on painting with your words. See what I did there, lol. I actually really Liked this piece though. 🙂
Dear Angela I enjoyed reading your poem of how you are really artistic and it is how you are able to express your self and not letting nobody judge you for who you are.
Angela, This is an amazing poem and you really are an artist writing that. I love how deep these words are and how they catch you attention so well. I think it is ironic the poem is about being artistic and you are very artistic.
