The Hand

Toyin O.

• Artist Statement

  My poem discusses the difficulties of life and the obstacles constantly trying to overtake you in your walk of life. It speaks in the metaphorical sense about life and causes one to evaluate life in a different way. It demonstrates a theme of a necessity of help. It shows how in life, in order to survive, you need those who can help you through trouble. I was inspired by my personal help in life.

• Creative Statement

  My creativity is one of my defining traits. It is often portrayed in my everyday life as humor and sometimes, for communication, in poetry. In my poetry, my resilient and argumentative qualities are seen throughout my poems.
