Paint brushes

Once,

A girl

Who's name

Was painted in the stars

Picked up a paintbrush.

Her eyes,

Oh how they glimmered,

Shone.

Paint was given,

And paper traded,

Her heart and soul

Embedded in her paintings.

Such a joy

whispered the neighbors

What a relief

Answered her parents

For they once were worried with grief

That she will not live up to her name

Although

Paintbrushes shaped her life

She began longing

With grief and strife

She wished for a person

Who shared her likes

But

Life is not that giving

And we are not all that receiving.
