Perfect Portrait

The kaleidoscopic view of the myriad of life Watched through the spectacle of acceptance Brings me close to the portrait of life That I want to be more like I envy the admiration that it gets The colors of joy splashed across it I lust for the compliments showered on it The perfect portrait of life it seems. I copy my portrait form the one I behold Add the glitzy hues required Erase the insignificant details And finally come up with one of my own The new portrait is a sight to behold A portrait as never before; they say Only that there’s nothing perfect in the portrait It’s not me anymore.
