The Painter

I am a painter

I make marks on my wrists

Lovely lines that shine red

That show my 'happiness'

My shiny brush

Soon wasn't enough

So I started to make new marks

Permanent on my heart.

Then the brush was nowhere to be found

And all the paint ran out

The voice in my head

Tried to ensure I was dead

And as the fire came back up

It screamed have another cup

I realized

That my demons

Were wrong

I wanted a life

I wanted to hold on

The waves were turning

I knew I was going down

It was the angels that kept me

Even though I wanted to the pain

It took a while

But my demon was slayed

And now I am trapped

In an empty space

Away from the flowers

That bloom

To show me the light

That I once knew

I am waiting for the day

When I no longer stay

In a dungeon so dark

To fly away

To the world in my heart
