For a while now, writing has been an outlet for me to express myself and creativity. I am extremely proud of this piece for it has been a very long time since I’ve been able to finish a poem. I hope you all enjoy for I put a lot of thought and effort into it. So, here it is:

 

Put the blade down, sunshine, there are better ways

Your mind is clouded, fogged, you’re in a haze

Take a deep breath- in and out

Release all of that negativity, stress, and self-doubt

Take this paint brush and canvas too

With a selection of colors I know you’ll choose blue

Paint the sky as it appears

Don’t hold back, I’ll wipe away your tears

Your hands are shaking, but quickly you’ll start

Pouring your heart out you’ll create a work of art

Raindrops soon fill the canvas bright red

Drip, drip, drip I could have found you dead
