I keep painting you
Pictures of my pain
Using only shades
Of black and gray.
Layer after layer,
Until my darkness
Bleeds out
Of frame.
I want to show you
Something lighter.
My soul is full
Of brilliant hues
That my head
Hasn’t figured out
How to use.
But my hands
Reach for the same old colors.
From a distance,
You see a pulverized heart.
But look close enough,
And maybe
You’ll find—
I am becoming
A work of art.

Finally realizing I need to start acting like the main character in my own life. Writing helps me figure out where I keep losing the plot and giving away my spotlight. My story is a big mix of drama, comedy, tragedy, thriller, and, horror.
