Body Art

Many struggle to express themselves so we use other terms to describe our main reason I used a paint brush to describe a sharp object and paint as blood. I wrote this because it described how I felt.

Scars are memories

you choose to remember.

Your body is a canvass

You are in control,

With what the colors you choose 

Which ways you chose to lead the brush.

You create these unique patterns

Only you know how they were created.

To yourself your expressing your own emotion,

To others they stare as if your body is telling them your needy.

As if your body is just a statue filled with emptiness

Longing for their undivided attention.

To others it's easy to watch you create the art,

But to yourself you become numb.

Nobody is strong enough to take the brush,

Instead they're weak

So they watch you add more paint to the brush,

To paint another recent memory.
