“SELF PORTRAIT”

My portrait, is unfinished, for my life has not yet fully run
My canvas is the reflection, of all the things I’ve done.
A portrait of bright extremes, clouded by daily norms,
Revealing my hopes and dreams, in many different forms.
Showcasing my easy laughter, and my passion for reasoning,
And those many good things, I’ve done with real meaning,
But it will also show my darkness, and all of my hidden sins
Those things that I could not share, or dare try explaining.
Yes my life is my canvas, it is painted with all my history.
Forever displayed imperfectly, for those that choose to see.
