She Paints a Pretty Picture

She paints a pretty picture

There upon her hand

What they don’t know is that she can’t sleep at night

This is the only way she can

No it’s not blood

No they’re not gory

But what people don’t know

Is that all of the pretty pictures tell a story

Being alone

Too alone

She doesn’t want to die

Not being known

No one likes her

But the pictures on her hand

The people who like her for her

Are the ones who understand

Sharpie out

Flowers swirl out of all kind

Not a ray of doubt

But a picture in her mind

Some don’t work

That’s ok

Whatever ends up on her hand

Will only be there for the day

I paint a pretty picture

A sharpie in my hand

Today is a different design

At least I know I can

Yes, I did draw that on my hand (have been doing on my arms/hands a lot lately) and am proud of it.  This poem is kind of how I feel when draw.  Thanks for reading!
