    THE PAINTER

    Always being the painter, and never being the muse
    I, for once, decided to paint myself

    Rummaged my belongings in search of the brushes
    I used to have when painting was my solace
    When I never knew that paintings can be bad or good;

    Looked everywhere yet found them not,
    But I had to paint ,I had to
    it was the only way to be alive

    Tore apart a bone of mine
    And dipped it in the red liquid
    That runs through my veins

    Started to paint, ignoring all my flaws
    Picture perfect! I had to be

    Then it was completed, at last
    Oh and how perfect it was!

    Till now there I lie, forever
    As a lie
    A perfect painting
    Of a flawed painter
