I wonder how I should
Paint these words in hues of this pain
Should I paint them in tones of midnight black
Or in deep tinted blues and grays?
How will I blend them with the bright-colored rainbows
That I've effortlessly painted before
It'll mess up this lovely canvas
Like how're messed up now.
How should I color this bitterness inside
I never knew it'll be this hard to decide
Should I paint it in intense shades of red
Or should I lay down the brush and leave?
