Painting On the Wall

I could paint the sky black

But I'll still find the light

Behind all the hurt and pain

I ease my pain

through the art of music

Am I just a picture to you?

Is that what you see?

Like a picture on a wall

You hang me for all to see

But wait

Where are my clothes

I am naked

Why?

I am exposed

I am exposed to the world

I do not want people to see

See the scars down my cheeks

And across my flesh

Stop don't look

Look but don't see

Look within my eyes

You see the pain that I've seen

Where?

where have I been?

Can you tell me please?

Oh but I forgot

You can't

Because in your eyes

I'm just a painting,

for these walls to see
