***********

The harsh smell of paint and turpentine
I finished my design
I stare at the canvas examine the lines
I don't recognize
myself

I used the entire pallet
and black for center of my eye
But I can't seem to get it right

I wanna paint myself a picture that I like
I wanna paint myself a picture I can recognize
I need the colors to convince me I'm alright
I wanna paint myself a picture that I like

Brown for the birth mark on my face
A grey hair for my mistake
Vibrant shades red for lips that long to speak
and the blushing of my cheeks

I wanna paint myself a picture that I like
I wanna paint myself a picture I can recognize
I need the colors to convince me I'm alright
I wanna paint myself a picture that I like
