Ways To Cope.
Art is her only distraction from life.
Her art expresses what she cannot say.
That notebook full of poems and songs mean more to her than people think.
She lays back in the chair and gets her favourite words, or designs, inked permanently in her skin.
Her entire body, covered in ink. Because she knows that she won't cut, she will slice open her skin, but not when it will in turn, destroy one of her tattoos.
She paints designs on the walls of her apartment and dyes her hair crazy colours.
When she has her guitar in her lap and is singing her favourite song, that is when she is in her happy place.
She inks her skin so she won't destroy it.
She paints her walls to make her life more colourful and exciting.
She changes her hair to give her a sense of control.
She sings so she doesn't have to recite her own horrible stories.
She finds ways to cope, ways to stay alive.
Isn't that what we are all just trying to do?
Find a way, a reason, to stay alive?
Find your own reason.
Be unique. Be creative. Better yourself.
But always be you.
