The Artist - Beautiful Scar

I am an Artist of sorts, Of a magnificent artwork that cannot be bought, A creation that takes a lifetime to complete, A beautiful piece too sublime to compete, Colours and shape that etched upon my canvas, With brushes that hurt and scrape, A timeless piece with mediums too diverse, An emotional aesthetic of destiny and fate, Each fragment, a memory of love and grief, The outcome of lessons in life, A detailed creation with no copy or brief, Every stroke defining my strive, Behold my artwork, revision of more to come, Growth is the essence of my belief, Scars may be just lessons to some, But these are evidences of which I have lived. Fariq Yusoff 20th November 2015

You expressed your thoughts very well, Fariq. I was intrigued to read this one because of the title. I love to paint, so you helped me to see that your canvas must be filled with the colors and happiness, blended with touches of sadness.
