I am the aritst.
I love creating pretty pictures.
But I only have one canvas,
and I have drawn on it so many other times.

Every other day.
I need a new paint brush.
Because if I use one too much,
My pictures won't be as pretty.

I am the artist.
I destroy what I am.
I wish I never started drawing,
On the canvas of my skin.

The more I draw.
The less it hurts.
Day after day.
Till there is no room left to work.

The paint is my blood.
The brush is my blade.
The canvas is my skin.
I am the artist.
