I'm an abstract painting
No destiny, not intended to be anything
An experiment on how far boundaries can be pushed

I'm an abstract painting
At a glance, you don't know what you see
Whimsical colors mixed in with a lot of black
Too many greens
And repulsive amounts of red drips

I'm an abstract painting
One look, and you notice nothing impressive
The common reactions are "I don't get it"
"why can't it just be normal?"
Some even say I'm a boring waste of potential

I'm an abstract painting
And if you look real close you can see so many things
Wonderful images of grace and morose joy
There are wonderful things to be seen in me
But you have to look first and want to see

I'm an abstract painting
On the surface, I'm ugly
But upon further examination you will see that I am
Profoundly
Disturbingly
Strangely
Beautiful
