The Painter's Pain

Anger, sadness, fear,
all blend together perfectly.
It becomes hard to bear,
the life laid out in front
of them.
  Scary what the mind,
can give a character to when
confronting the darkest parts of 
your soul.
  You breed in flesh and blood.
A mere thought becomes
a face of a person who
Has a story to tell.
The grief from the painter,
makes it easy to sell.
