Demonstrable Vice
This is all too familiar
Just as it was then,
Again to be put here
So very difficult, to breathe.
In the mirror
Looking right through me
Touching the face
Of a man that does not exist.
Paint a picture
Of this tragic spectacle
Blacks and whites
Flooded with the red roses
So poetic
Ironic, isn’t it?
I always thought so
Continue painting
Let everything free
All the feelings, the emotions
Pour them out
Scream out the pain and anguish
Breakdown in tears
Just don’t stop painting
Until it captures the soul
And it echoes back
“Demonstrable Vice”
