Wilma Neels Poet Free verse

'The Painting'

You  have to tell your own story
Don't let someone else come into your house and mess on your canvas
Don't let them distort your beauty with untruths
Remember the colors you choose
Remember the strokes of the brush
It's all on you
When you take a step back and look at your painting you should be proud

Don't pay a second thought to what others might think
This painting is your masterpiece
