She was an artist

But with a little twist

She painted pictures

On her wrists

She always used red

Never any color

She was an artist

Like no other

She wasn't well know

They didn't care

She was hurting

She couldn't bare

She painted pictures

That no one ever saw

They made fun of her

When she did draw

She was an artist

Didn't you know?

Her heart was as cold as the falling snow

She painted

With a twist

She painted with blood on her wrist

She finally stopped painting.

She was an artist

Her name on the tv screen

She was famous

For the painting that she left on her wrists.

She was an artist

But

She was the artist that left no artwork behind

She was the artist that painted her own skin

With a metal blade.

One day she finally painted

Herself

To death
