Wicked Art!

This poison paint colors my canvas
Indelible, it will not depart
Painted this masterwork is on my surface
Loathsome canvas!
Wicked art!
A masterpiece you work
Varnished transgressions that can not be washed free
Free, from my oil-receptive canvas

For this reason, now 
I must hide this artistic blot
This poison paint
With oils of Truth
Worked by hands of spirit
So that set eyes will never see this crafted bane
A new masterpiece in its stead

Sometimes those pieces are hard to cover over aren't they :) But it certainly sounds like you have the strength, and are on the right path to do so. I really like this metaphorical work Mark.
