Petals (and other frail things)

SELF-PORTRAIT -17/01/2017-

My bones seem oh so big,

Too big for me, even,

I am quite small, really, I

Don't take up much room, but

I agree, my soul and dread are

Quite heavy. Sorry.

See, I

Cannot wait to explode

And splatter the walls with my insides.

Because, well,

I believe them to be quite colourful.

A glorious blend of pink, purple and blue,

With a few black spots, that is,

And yellow, also, loads of it. For

More reference about this, see Van Gogh.

And I want to show the world

My insides, because my vessel

Of flesh seems way too big

And too strong

And too dark

For people to see my inner colours.

Which is sad, really.

I think them to be quite pretty.
