Yesterday, 
I was an element of art… 
A line that was curved 
And perturbed as i swerved
On the canvas;

‍

Yesterday,
I was the painted pessimistic part
Of the colors of
Purple, brown, red, black, and orange…

‍

Death, sorrow, worthlessness, anger,
wounds , darkness, depression, loss, aggression, misfortune, and alienation;

‍

I was an unappealing, 
Peeling painting
Whose sole purpose was to be seen 
By the brown recluses and black widows
Who appreciated naught…
Even a depreciating and morbid
Painting of dying art
Who was decaying in the basement
Of a broken dwelling;

‍

Today,
I am an element of art…
A straight line drawn daily
That ascents skyward
Toward greater heights
By my free will
That conforms to reform…
Reborn on the canvas 

‍

Today, 
I’m the painted optimistic part
Of the colors of
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, 
Purple, and brown…

‍

Warmth, passion, birth, love, life,
Harvest, sun, wisdom, light, hope, 
Expectation, energy, riches, growth, 
Cycles of renewal, creativity, sky, water,
Sea, heaven, spirituality, cleansing,
Calm, loyalty, wealth, authority,
Resurrection, imagination, 
And new beginnings;

‍

Today, 
I am in reality 
An element of art…
A line both straight and curved;

‍

Today, 
I’m a new man
With a new heart,
And a new piece of 
Appreciated art.
