Her Canvas
She drew paintings
many could not understand
Her body being her ever changing canvas
The cruel world her muse
She drew paintings
many could not understand
Her hands in constant use
ticking like a time bomb
Barrelling towards its last fuse
Leaving a gaping bruise
She drew paintings
many could not understand
NO one could confuse nor refuse
Much less excuse
Her eminent abuse
Soaked and drenched in red hues
She drew paintings
Even she could not understand
She had nothing to lose
When the world chose their views
Hate was infused
And now she was gone too.
