there's a blind desire there's a drive

there's a need to leave some lasting feat

something to hold, something to keep

a monument to complete



there's a written page there's a book

there's a search for something to say

something to share, something to speak

a monument to convey



is it fiction, is it confession

is it passion or just a profession

is it performance, is it expression

is it passion or just an obsession



there's a photograph there's a frame

there's a time, a moment to confine

something to save, something to see

a monument to enshrine



is it performance, is it expression

is it passion or just a profession

is it fiction, is it confession

is it passion or just an obsession



there's an empty room there's a blank page

there's a picture left incomplete

something is lost, something remains

a monument to defeat



is it fiction, is it confession

is it passion or just a profession

is it performance, is it expression

is it passion or just an obsession
