When the color doesn't suit you, paint it. When the gray wall doesn't inspire Paint it a hue with golden sparkles. When the sky is dark, close your eyes Imagine streaks of sunshine shimmering Through the happiest blue. When your heart is stained black Only you hold the palette and brush. With each choice, stroke the gloom away And paint in the joy. If the world's colors are too bright Throw buckets of mud on it In order to heal the wounds. For you are the artist of your reality. If you don't like something, Pick up a brush and paint it.
