Painted Lines Within a Canvas


staring shadows you can't see
glance upon our nakedness
even though they know me
like a mother accepting faults
it has come to this tonight

watching wherever eyes wander
my weak moments you catch
while tired and worn out
heart beats out of this peaked valley
every sun rise comes unspoken

each soul paints on different lines
emotion tears up deep within us
asunder does it make us
taken is the dream of the few
without realization we stray

unbeknownst to even ourselves
we draw with distinct lines
within are color palettes
they chase after our past
we'll paint outside those lines

we'll paint as we like upon this canvas
you will see me, I am undrawn
