Work of art

            Work of Art

None of us ask to be born
Why were we brought
Into this world
A world full of hate
A world full of anger
None of us like living this way
As the blood drains
From my body
My slit wrist 
Tells a sad story
At first glance
I’m so beautiful and charming
That’s just a front
Deep down inside me
Lives all that is evil and dark
I used to love 
I used to dream
My smile is what defined me
As time went on 
My smile became a frown
Love no longer existed
A black whole was left in my heart
My soul was lost long ago
Everyone in my life 
Turned out to be fake
Loving only themselves
 Thinking of ways to escape
Became the reason 
I woke up everyday
The dark red blood stains
 Remind me of all the times
You didn’t want me around
Of when you kicked me
Out the house
The longer I stare
The more I hate
I wish the hate would go away
It won’t be long 
Till I’m gone
Everything I ever did
You said was always wrong
You never complimented 
Anything at all
My brother and my sister
Seemed to make you happy
It was only when they came
That a mother you became
You were always there 
When they needed you
I never heard you tell them “NO”
Wasn’t hard to see 
That you didn’t love me 
As my life ends
I hope in yours you smile again
“The world will be a better place”
Was what I heard you say
Those words replay over and over
In my head
I promise you soon
That will come true
All is lost and never won
 I’m not trying to hurt anyone
This was not 
What I wanted in life
Anger and hate determined
My fate
Holding my feelings inside 
Brought upon a frightful gift
I picked up a brush started to paint
 Painting away all of my pain
Along with every single memory
I only hope you understand 
The meaning of my art
I hope you see 
What an amazing artist I can be
Metaphorically speaking of course
I found an escape 
In this canvas that I use to paint
This canvas is my best art work yet
It holds every secret
It carries my pain
It tells the story
Of the little girl who went away
How she wasn’t insane
How she lived her life in vain
It’s sad to see it’s me 
My body is my masterpiece
