Reality Is Your Art – Poetry by Markus Hamence, April 2026

Reality is your very own art, don’t let them paint it for you,
brush in your hand and the colours running wild and true.
Every thought is a stroke, every feeling is but a flame,
you shape the picture, don’t hand over your name.

See, life ain’t a canvas sitting quiet on a wall,
it’s a rhythm in your chest, hear the your spirit call.
From the dirt to the sky, from the tear to the spark,
you’re the light in the day and the fire in the dark.

Reality is your art, so create with pure intention,
no chains on your vision, no fear in your expression.
Let love be the pigment, let truth be the guide,
no need for permission when your soul’s stretched open wide.

They might try redraw you, put frames on your mind,
but freedom’s the masterpiece only you can find.
So rise like the sunrise, bold, bright, never part –
’Cause the world you’re livin’ is the work of your heart.

From the roots of your soul to the crown of your mind,
paint it bold, paint it free – leave the illusion behind.
