"Your art matters. It's what got me here." - Lucas to Peyton


When I first discovered One Tree Hill, I spent all my time watching it. Which pretty much means that I’d be glued to the laptop for 10 hours at a day and cry in agony every time Megavideo said those twelve wretched words “Your 72 minutes are up. Please wait till 54 minutes to continue.” After a while I devised a pretty neat system to spend those 54 minutes of anguish. Which mostly just included watching a gazillion Youtube videos. O.o (I WANT TO KEEP THE INVENTOR OF YOUTUBE ON A PEDESTEL AND WORSHIP HIM 80s STYLE.)

A short while ago, I wrote this poem inspired by a quote from One Tree Hill. Its not much, but I was quiet proud of it, when I wrote it and I’ve been wanting to post it here since the very beginning.

You painted your soul

A part of your heart

I saw your work

I looked at your art

There were pictures of you

Alone in the dark

A cry for help, the need to make a mark

Though you might not know it

Your art is saving my world

Your art is what matters,

It’s keeping me here

I see your eyes; they’re filled with fear

Of not being remembered, of not being heard

But it’s making a place,

A place in my heart

Your art is what matters

It’s the only thing for me, I fear

It’s keeping me here

It is what's keeping me here

  1. I've never watched One Tree Hill, but I do quite like your poem all the same. :) And I can definitely relate to the frustrations of Megavideo. Of course it's always always always at the most intense climactic part of the movie or show or whatever, and then--- PLEASE WAIT 54 MINUTES. And I'm just like CURSE YOU MEGAVIDEOOOO. But yes, whoever invented YouTube is my personal hero.
