The Artist

•🎨 •

They saw you as an artist,
all happy and lively.

Mixing colours precisely as you smear the paste onto a blank sheet of fabric canvas.

Forming masterpieces as they watch in awe.

Watch in awe at the beauty created.

But not once did someone wonder of what reason you became an artist.

An artist you were, indeed.

Painting strokes of life, swirling colours onto a blank sheet of fabric canvas.

A masterpeice is what you surely create,
as your heart breaks,
as tears cascade down your face.

But they don't see,
as you try to heal your scars,
as you try to revive the broken pieces.

They were oblivious,
to the emotions that you've endured,
poured into a work of colour,
chained behind bars of hidden meanings.

As they stared in awe,
to what was known to only the owner of such creation.

A beauty to their eyes,
a pain to your heart,
as you recall each and every scar.

But you smile too,
along with them.

Because you fought the battles,
and you won.
