The Artist


(poems go here) On the outside I'm strong But on the inside I'm in Hell I make subtle cries But no one who notices will help With a break in my skin And a hole in my heart Without anyone's love I'm like incomplete art My body a canvas My tears are the paint My scars are all of the mistakes that I've made My arms are the brushes My feet, the tabouret My heart is the artist Who is riddled with pain
