Self Portrait

Self Portrait

I look in the mirror, reflections that I see
Many sides of the picture, many sides of me
3-D canvas in daylight, emotion shows right through
The only color missing from the portrait is you

A picture’s worth a thousand words
Voices speak but never heard
Self-portrait of a man
Something no one can understand

Paint lays on the canvas, watch it flow in the grain
Comes to life as it ages, like blood flows through my veins
Shades of me run together, mixing on their own
One of a kind, first person novel, like no other picture has shown

A picture’s worth a thousand words
Voices speak but never heard
Self-portrait of a man
Something no one can understand

Crystal clear reflections, they fall into a dream
I see your face in the mirror, close enough to touch it seems

A picture’s worth a thousand words
Voices speak but never heard
Self-portrait of a man
Something no one can understand
