do it because it fuels you, even when it cannot feed you

do it because it heals you, even when it cannot help you

do it because it fills your heart, even when your pockets are empty

do it because it lifts you up in a world where all seems dim and heavy

do it because it makes you happy, even when it cannot make you rich

do it because it waters the soil in which your growth begins

do it because it makes you happy, even when it cannot make you cash

do it because the tallest trees grow towards the sunniest path

do it while you are hungry

do it while you are hopeless

do it while you are broken

and do it while you have hurt unspoken

do it even when you are unheard

and even when you are unseen

do it because you were born to create, and live, and learn, and dream.
