PAINTINGS OF THE SOUL

Her story she wished to repaint
With each step, she refined a stroke 
Striving to create a perfect picture
An abstract, where every feeling is captured.

In her old portrait
Black was dominant and vibrant
Seeping into every corner of her canvas  
Even surpassing the edges.

The paintings of her soul
She sought to redo
Crafting a masterpiece  
With an entirely different theme.

Her old self she would reflect
But this time, her portrait would be named
Like the great painting of Mona Lisa
Every inch of her, glorified.
