As I look at...

A trace of atrocity,
A sketch of inmity,
A figure of vainglory,
A print of malignancy.

I see...

A painting of strife,
A canvas of disbelief,
A portrait of herself,
A story of her life.

Which made me realize that it is...

An image of distress,
A photo of loneliness,
A picture of helplessness,
A replica of sinfulness.

As I poder into it…

She depicts a modern vile maiden,
Which shatters when pinned;
Whom reluctance into owning sin,
For it was pride within.

But when I tilt my head, I catch a side where it is…

Full of gladness,
Overflowing joyfulness,
Immoderate cheerfulness,
Unmeasurable thankfulness.

As I walk home from the gallery, the portrait left me with questions;

How come it has two?
How did it happen?
What about you?
What do you think?
