Rebirth of a negative, creation of a positive

 

The canvas stared into your eyes

As you thought of what to create next.

But the misery

And the depression

Filled the back of your brain,

Clouding your thoughts like a shadow

Overlooking the object it follows

And making yourself think

Why do I create?

 

Before being consumed

By the negativity in your head,

The palette of colors sitting next to the canvas

Caught the attention

Of your wandering mind.

 

The warm colors

Brought back memories

Of your mother’s raspberry jam

The red pigment and

The sweet, but tangy taste

Makes your perception better

 

Cool colors start to also take your attention

The blues remind you of the tropical hideaway in your thoughts.

A place that you went

To relieve the stress,

Aching the parts in your mind

That never seemed to disappear.

 

Even if the pain

Can’t escape your imagination,

There would always be

A laugh in the sea of sadness

 

Your mentality focuses to reality,

Realizing why you do your job

And that is to

Make.

Good.

Art.

 

Eyes started to focus

On the blank,

Colorless

Canvas in front of yourself

And you begin to create

A masterpiece.
