You want to believe it,
that I am a canvas,
a work of art,
that you must trace your fingers across my body,
So that I am worth something.
You want me to believe it, too.
You want me to see myself as a blank canvas,
a canvas that yearns to be art.
that cries for paint to smother it.
However, you do not realise,
I am already art.
I was art from the beginning.
I do not need your colourful embraces and delicate fingertips to realise that.
