Paint It

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.

Oh how sorrow takes its toll,
Losing all control,
We'll be forever unkind,
We're losing our fragile minds.
  
Making up a tragic tale,
Of how we managed to fail,
To smile in the holy light,
And hid our faces in the eternal night.

Break the fall with a thought of survival,
But hit the ground with no hope of revival,
Respiration is a distant memory,
As life on Earth is only temporary.

— The End —
