Art of My Undoing

I want to be an artist. I want to create a piece if be proud of for the rest of my life. Id peel back the skin, cutting the fat away until it was the perfect size. then id mold it - shape it until it was just right. Pulling muscles like clay, threading through blood vessels and veins like string, digging through the mess of myself and scraping away every inch until i loved what i saw. every flaw, carved out of my body until all the was left was absolute perfection when im finished, id stitch the skin back over in a beautiful mess, - tight, trembling and standing in the mirror, ill know - i made the greatest art piece id ever see they say, an artist greatest masterpiece is themselves.

Wow, this poem is so beautiful... I'm not entirely sure what it's about, but even so, there is beauty in the words.
