Artist's View

I wish

Rage was a medium

So I could paint

Paint a picture of what I feel

If I could show you

My anger without making a move

Except the simple strokes of the brush

The bottle of my emotions

Would be seen as art

Instead of an act of retaliation

Instead of a temper-tantrum

I can't even fathom

In these paintings

A lot of black might be

In these paintings

A lot of red you might see

But you would see art

Not the violence in me
