they come searching for hope, happiness, love, no they come for escape
an escape from the world
the tragedy the sorrow the pain
they criticize, laugh, judge
anything to stop the pain
anything for escape
she knows
she knows what they're here for
the same reason she's here
an escape
her brush hits the canvas
the world stops
no pain no sorrow
freedom
she paints with purpose, poise, courage
her heart
hangs up a piece of her, a piece of her soul
a peace offering
they see this
the courage, the hope, the pain
they take it
a piece of her forever
anything for escape
