Painting A Picture Poem by Kyon Shade

Painting a picture
For the whole world to see.
Painting a picture
That’s not at all me.
Painting the misery,
Upon contorted lips.
Painting a disaster in devoid of bliss.
Painting and painting and I can’t seem to quit.

The paint is my makeup.
The mask I must wear.
To breech the unacceptable
I never could bear.
I am painting a picture
A picture of fear.
Painting and painting and I don’t seem to care.

Painting reality or is it a lie
Painting my hurt across tearful eyes
Painting a picture but within I cry.
Painting a tragedy of this life of mine.

The paint is my blood
My way to express
Painting my pain killer
My reliever of stress
