to be a painting

I wish to be a painting
My skin: green and blue
So abstract and deformed
So beautifully incorrect
Rearranged in places
My mind muddled
I would finally be able to forget
What a beautiful painting
Of a child who was still
A child
Not me
Never me
I wish to be a painting
Filled with all the things
My memory longs to remember
Playtime at the swings
The simplistic things
Oh how I wish
To be in those moment
After dying
A thousand times
Just so I could feel
Something
