Painted

The creation of me

By KarlynePublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Hair so long it goes on for days,

Thick and black, with ocean waves,

Big brown eyes that will let you see her soul,

Lucious Red lips with a forgettable nose,

Ears that are different in size but not too bad,

Possibly the only left over ears we had,

Strong shoulders that could carry the world,

Curves of a woman even as a little girl,

Skin the color of cream with a touch of cinnamon,

Features from Samoa and Nicaragua that would definitely illicit sin,

But that’s just the mold and what it holds is most important,

This one is going to make a difference and be rich like she were imported ,

Paint her heart with the colors of the 🌈 rainbow,

Red like lava, at which any moment she can blow ,

Orange like the sun setting so that she always feels warm,

But let her only have a small amount because too much is not the norm,

Yellow like the brick road so that she always knows where to go,

But a touch of green envy to keep her grounded and humble,

Blue like the sky with a chance of rain,

And make sure that she feels even the deepest form of pain,

And finally purple like Barney, keep her innocence and creativity flowing ,

But let it fade out without her even knowing,

Make her feel every color so vividly that she’s one with herself,

And remind her to learn the art of balance so that will feel so loved and need no one else.
