Ask me who I am in the raw,

I'll tell you.

I wake up like everyone else.

I get dressed, brush my teeth.

Most people assume that is me.

5'2", brown hair, brown eyes.

My brain however cannot be captured so simply.

I am a ticking clock.

I am a tnt bomb.

I am a fragile tea cup.

Is it depression?

Is it anxiety?

I won't go to the doctor,

for fear of medication.

My brain however cannot be captured so simply.

I am an endless sea of creativity.

I am the canvas that I pour my heart upon.

I am a pencil in motion.

a paintbush smeared with color.

My brain however connot be captured so simply.

5'2", brown hair, brown eyes.

Most people assume that is me,

but I am so much more than a photo.
