“It’s embarrassing”
I turn pain into art,
If you wish to judge me, let’s pick it apart.
Even when life feels perfect, & clear,
I still have the tears that quietly appear.
Joy and pain, both have their space,
Each carve a story, these truths I embrace.
Like in sunshine, the rain can still fall,
Emotions are human, I honour them all.
I don’t try label or to define,
This mix of emotions is entirely mine.
I say what I feel, both heavy and light,
For art is my freedom, my voice, my right.
I turn my pain into beauty, something that’s real,
As a way to let go of all that I feel.
If you want to judge, then take your aim,
The joy and sorrow are forever one in the same.
I don’t wish to hide, don’t want to choose,
I am both the wins and what I lose.
Life is a canvas, with both shadows and glow,
So I will forever paint it with all the colours I know.
