This One's For You

This One's For You

A Poem by Joey Nizz

Yeah, so this is for everybody and anybody
It's for those who serenade and sing, write and rewrite, dance and move with the rhythm, act and perform, study and learn, walk and run, respect and appreciate, adore and love.
And it's for doing it even if no one's there to watch and for doing it even if no one will ever know
Because the beauty is in the act of doing it, doing what you really love, what you are passionate about
And not for what it can lead to
This is for the time you lose yourselves while and when singing, writing, playing and enjoying
And no one is around and they will never know
But you will always remember
And that shines brighter and even more bright than any fortune and fame or praise and glory that you'll ever have
And again

This is for you, all of you, who write who sing and dance
On your own just by yourself with the doors shut and the lights off
When the world's asleep and the stars are aligned just for you because you are a star on that night
And maybe no one will ever hear it or hear you
Read your words or listen to them
Or know your thoughts
But it doesn’t make it any less beautiful or any less brilliant
It makes it heavenly and mysterious at the same time
Infinite and eternal
For it belongs to you and whatever God or spirit you believe in
And only you can decide how much it's meant
And Means
and will forever mean something to you

And others will get to experience it too
Through you and only you because you are the one who wrote, sang and danced
Through your spirit. Through the way you talk.
Through the way you walk and love and laugh and care
and I never meant to write this long

But what I want to say is:
Don’t try to present your art by making other people read or hear or see or touch it; 
Make them feel it. Wear your art like your heart on your sleeve and keep it alive by making people feel a little better, feel a little lighter.

Create art in order for yourself to become yourself
and let your very existence be your poem, your song, your chapters and your very own story.
Let your very identity be your book.
Let the way people say your name sounds like the sweetest melody and a name that will go in history as one of the greatest

So go 
Go create. Take photographs in the wood or whatever's out there in the streets, you'll never know what you'll find and see and make something beautiful out of it
Run alone and race the winds, dance in the rain and sing in the silence, sing your heart out high up on a mountain top 
where no one will ever hear
but the skies and the stars and the heavens above would
And your very own existence will be the most hypnotizing scar
Make your life be your art, be the whisper in the winds and the song of the night
and you will never be forgotten.

Anytime :)
It was a wonderful experience reading this, as I have made a firm decision to publish my book I always had a doubt whether my poems would be liked and appreciated by all or not. After reading this, I have faith because writing is more than a passion for me and I want to share my experience and thoughts with the world. I want my words to echo in people's mind because I will be long gone one day. This article will always be close to my heart because I see this as a beacon of hope and inspiration. I thank you from bottom of my heart for writing this. You always write relatable and inspiring work. Keep writing and sharing.

Yes, that's true.
It's been some time Joey Nizz.

Your flow is on point per usual but it's your message I have to say you did your best with today.

Even me and my generally negative attitude finished that poem a little more positive, slightly more motivated.

Well done Mr Nizz.

Don't stop now though, I would wager you have more to say.
