Catharsis
Noun; "purification or purgation of the emotions ... through art" ¤ 
Sara chewed the back of her pencil thoughtfully whilst staring at a blank wall with deep fascination
- if somewhat exaggerated. One must never underestimate the intrinsic power of blank
walls, she reminded herself, for they are one of the most inspiring things in the
entire world. And yet, looking at said blank wall, her inspiration gave a little
cough... Phoow! - and died in a pathetic wheez of iridescent, rainbow-colored
smoke.
One of the reasons why I hate Art at school is because we are forced to be practical.
I like conjuring up fairies; they force me to observe apples. I compromise and draw a fairy
sitting on an apple; they give me a detention. See the dilemma? Here, however, is a small
collection of my personal little fantasies.
Yes, I write poetry too. The "rhyming kind" - let's not get too technical. Some of it
is quite suicidal, but others radiate high levels of lovesickness. I suppose they serve as
riddlelike way of saying what I cannot verbalise. Did I mention that I completely and totally loathe poetry analysis during English lessons?
