A picture of a closed eye with a painted black eyelid surrounded by dark pink, purple glitter, and yellow around the eyebrow.

A splash of red to show the blood that ran as lines of grain ripped through the skin in my nostrils.

A splash of blue for the tears that oozed out of my eyes like acid burning my cheeks.

Purple like the color my lungs were turning from venom that took over the cavity,

A terrible scene.

Black for the emptiness felt deeply within my soul

White for a blank stare I had day and night

Grey for the feelings of numbness

Still a terrible scene

A fierce stroke right through the middle, show the heartbreak.

A drizzle of yellow for the specs of hope laughs gave me.

A drop of orange in the middle starts the fire within me, make it drip to show it is not who I wanted to be.

It is no longer a terrible scene, for I have only shown what I have seen, but now I have become serene, take a look, I have become a beautiful scene.
