I'm an Artist

I'm an artist,

can't you tell?

 

No?

Oh well,

that's because

my artwork is hidden!

 

It's not in front of you,

it's hidden from sight,

underneath clothes.

 

My canvas

is not the kind you might 

be thinking of.

 

No, 

my canvas is my skin,

and my paint brush is a blade.

 

 

My paint is my blood,

and the only color I use

is deep dark red.

 

 

Yes... 

hand me a blade, 

and i'll make art

 

I'll make beautiful art

that shows my battles

and shows my emotions 

better than I could myself!

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Work in progress... If you have any ideas to make it better please let me know!

It almost sounds as if it is

It almost sounds as if it is a take on the one poem about cutting.....Oh... Why can't I remember its name? It sounds as though it is about self harm, but maybe I'm wrong, and maybe it's about a murderer who kills with a knife. Either way, it think it really lets a reader's imagination run free.
