A soul who's heart is tainted
will never steadily love-
my difference (reasoning)
plagued, nor blue, nor black,
but a steady stream of healthy white
and pink spilled hearts, I love (again).
A concious effort
to change and be changed,
although, the canvas is slightly smeared-
shades of yellow defeat my gray,
I am impartial to my luck;
this masterpiece is my life.
My focus and aspiration
fuel my desire to formulate change,
and I no longer lie broken (damaged)
but I am on display for metamorphosis,
true imperfection-
I found my calling
and I shall resurrect you from pain
because happines is now, my heart.
Author notes
I feel that I am different to most because often people who come from a broken past allow themselves to be hateful and blaming, but I found myself trying to help those who come from similar places I have, and I've learned that I can make a difference, just pay it forward....

Very nicely done
I like the allusion to painting a self portrait in fresh colors; not perfect but unique and thoughtful - like this poem.
Typo: "and I no longer lay broken" = lie* (present tense)

I really like this piece and the positive out look. And I agree, most people who came from a bad past are very dark people that I don't think understand the darkness they struggle against. It's like the darkness has blinded them and made the ignorant.
But I'm glad that you can still smile, despite hardships you've had to face

Nice poem here.
I admit, after my last relationship though, I don't know if I'd ever want to get in another one, because of the way it ended. lol
Good luck in the contest.
