Paint

I can paint you a picture
In colors gay and bright
But my favorites are the ones
I make late at night
The tortured works of art that see into my soul
The ones that help me feel in control
The ones that help me cope with all that's inside
The ones that can help me say
Goodbye

Oh Shyla. This is so dark and so sad, just makes me want to reach into the poem and lift the subject out of there and take them on a whirlwind trip to see the beauty of the world and the millions of good people just a breath away. The bullies will fade, they have already started to when they chose that path. Flip a finger and live beyond them. Kind regards, Ian
