I am artistic and a writer.

I wonder what's going to happen to me next.

I hear the sound of pages flapping in the wind.

I see the drawing that spells out a story.

I want to draw or write something that I think is good enough.

I am artistic and a writer.

…

I pretend that I'm not here, I'm invisible and in my own world so people won't talk to me.

I feel distressed that I am too ashamed to show my writings to those whom I would otherwise want to see them.

I touch the bristles on the brush before I submerging it in the warm goo.

I worry that I am not good enough.

I cry when I get sever physical pain inflicted upon me.

I am artistic and a writer.

…

I understand more than what I am supposed to and more than anybody thinks.

I say, "Why be afraid of other people when, in the end, we all bleed the same?"

I dream that one day, I'll sleep without nightmares that haunt my every living moment.

I try to be myself, but end up putting on a mask to hide from the entire universe.

I hope I can write the perfect story that suits me or draw something I don't think is disgustingly awful.

I am artistic and a writer.

I am Arashi.
