The Battle for Knowledge

• Artist Statement

  When I first wrote this poem, it was three am and I was taking a break from my biology homework. In my poem, I mention how I have always struggled with my literacy and school in general which came to me as a shock when I decided to express myself through writing. I wanted to make my poem in a way that resonated with me, making it unique, but still relatable to others who shared the same or similar experiences. What I love most about poetry is that there is no wrong way to write it which gives the poet the ability to create their own atmosphere and control over how the story is to be perceived.

  Creativity means expressing yourself in various ways, whether through painting, creating music, writing, discovering yourself more, or showing how you interpret and see the world around you.
