peeling back the paint of depression
The paint covers her still body, draping over
Her frail chest, her protruding
Bones,
And her long-shut eyes; it blinds her
Anyways, and it
Fills her mouth, the paint, it takes her
Away from this landscape
It paints a new
Picture,
A new story, and depicts her as she used to be;
The paint, it heals her,
To walk again anew, and start over,
It coats
Her legs and forces her to get up
And walk—and,
The artist?
She watches the canvas come to life, a mini-version
Of herself,
Stepping off of the blank, white paper
And out of
Depression—
Alive,
The twin girls touch hands, the doppelganger
Gets as much of the
Paint
On her creator as she can, and so they
Save each other,
She
Saves herself;
She creates her own story and her own
Happy
Ending.
