i'm trying to paint away the sadness
one color at a time.
i paint
bright kaleidoscopic skies
strong, swaying trees
a brave blue wave
a million pretty pastel floral arrangements
but none of them can cover up
the blues of my sadness.
the reds of my anger.
the black to blue to purple to yellow-greens of my bruises.
i still try to paint away the sadness
one color at a time
until the scenes i paint on pages
become the ones in my real life.

PAINting, am I right? there's still some hope, y'all.
two months without work is really weighing on me. my savings are about up.
i've been told for the billionth time that i didn't get the job once again yesterday.
