I Am A White Canvas

I am a white canvas, I can be everything.

Colors swirl around me as they dance in the night.

My emotions are on display for everyone to see.

The hourglass is the painter I trust with my life.

...

I am a white canvas, I am everything.

Awaiting for colors to form into shapes.

Every brushstroke leaves a mark on my skin.

The painting becomes the window to my soul.

...

I am a white canvas, I am everything.

Little by little shapes come into life.

The sweet breeze enters my heart.

The wind makes the colors sink into my blood.

...

I am a white canvas, I am everything.

Sitting in silence as my soul is freed.

Joyful tears flow like rain from my eyes

The brush starts painting again with all its might.

...

I am a white canvas, and I always will be.

Dark and bright colors will live on my skin.

Warm and cool hues make me feel alive.

Life is a journey full of shadows and light.

For one to truly know me,

they must look into the deepest depths of my soul.

There is a fiery red that burns brightly in my chest

and shines through the windows of my eyes.

You can feel it too when you're close enough to touch me.

I wear these colors with pride knowing they are not just mine

but also what make up this beautiful world.
