🎨 1. Poetry → Art → Poetry (Creative Version)

 

With the Right Support (Artistic Version)

Seen.
Heard.
Understood.

Not just words—
but a feeling
we are still waiting for.

The classroom hums,
letters shift,
numbers blur—
a page becomes a storm.

Ink spills across the mind,
like marbling water—
beautiful,
but hard to hold still.

We are not empty.
We are not slow.
We are processing
a world turned up too loud.

Without support,
I faded—
into the background,
into silence,
into “nobody.”

But I was never nobody.

I was waiting
for the right key
to unlock
how I learn.

Now—
each day adds colour.

Yesterday: confusion.
Today: understanding.
Tomorrow: growth.

No one knows everything.
Not you.
Not me.

But learning is movement—
and I am moving.

We don’t learn less.
We learn differently.

And difference
is not a weakness—
it is a way of seeing
the world
as art.
