'the Painting'

You have to tell your own story Don't let someone else come into your house and mess on your canvas Don't let them distort your beauty with untruths Remember the colors you choose Remember the strokes of the brush It's all on you When you take a step back and look at your painting you should be proud Don't pay a second thought to what others might think This painting is your masterpiece ©23022021
