Fm Rt Poet Ballad

Painting the Night Sky

A thin paintbrush
Dragging blue paint across paper
A one-track mind
Trying to be seen better.

Screams and insults
Of unkinship disdain.
A heart desperately trying
To shut out the pain.

A girl who was told
Her skill wasn't enough
But tried not go stumble
Into the road rough.

A girl who tried not
To exceed her golden frame
And chooses to take
Every single blame.

Paint-stained fingers
A present in wrapping
A heart within
Hopelessly hoping.

A gift to the family
That always dragged her down
Hoping against hope
That they wouldn't frown.
