Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. -Edgar Allan Poe

I am a blank canvas.
Paint on me what you will,
But from your words I’ll never heal,
Those moments of solitude reveal,
I’ve already been painted.

I am a revealed piece of art.
Look upon me with curiosity,
In your eyes I’m a monstrosity,
In your heart you feel much animosity,
But on my face remains a smile.

I am a peculiar beauty.
Grasp the meaning of my existence,
A smile on my face with such persistence,

 

‘Cause I am myself, a painted canvas.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
