“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.
