Last night I was messing around with a
Pencil and paper, just killing time until
I could fall asleep and after a while I
Realized the person I was drawing was
Really me I forgot to add my glasses I
Guess because I don’t like how they look
And I’m a little bit thinner but otherwise
It’s not too bad

I ended up naked in front of a mirror in
Front a sink that I never could get to
Look right but you get the idea and
It’s not about that anyway I’m in front
Of a tub covered in a flowered curtain
That’s really the best part of the entire
Picture, you know I love to pay attention
To detail

I’m looking down my eyes are closed and
My face is sad because of all the things I’ve
Done and said and what I can’t take back and
What I can’t do over and anyway it is what
It is and they say there are no accidents so
I guess it’s meant to be

But anyway, I wasn’t really thinking just
Letting the pencil go wherever it wanted to
That’s the best way to create, or so they
Told me when I chose to listen just let it
Go and don’t hesitate, that’s how you make
It your best so there’s all this stuff out there
With labels that I can’t read but I know what’s
In each jar and bottle and on that dish

There’s soap to wash away my sins even
Though I never seem to get clean and
Makeup to cover up what I never want
Anyone else to see there’s even perfume to
Hide what I’m really like underneath
All the lies and the smiles and the tears and
The laughter that I don’t get to have too often
Or so it seems now

There’s one more thing in the corner I added it
Last, an afterthought no idea where it came from
It’s a razor all shiny and silver very small and deadly
I like how it looks there, it splits the space
Up into sections, like you’re supposed to
When you want to draw the viewer in
I don’t really own one, I don’t really need
One or want one, but in a weird way, it
Feels good to know it’s there.

Thanks JAG and Bamtino.

i like the content here. it's nice to be able to see into people when they open the line of sight and reveal their souls. even nicer to view the way others picture themselves and how they see their surroundings.
