Portrait of an Ugly Soul

Some writers use a pencil
Some others use a pen
We hold them as our paintbrushes
Our only way to mend

Through the words on the page
We paint a picture of the pain
We show the raw emotion
And break from all our chains

But lately I can't write
And my words don't seem to flow
I don't have any colors ugly enough
To paint a portrait of my soul

Please tell me what you think

    WOW! HOLY COW! Those last two lines were like WHOA! Amazing! Horribly Sad but amazing! I am speechless, your work is always good the whole way through, but it's like you want people to remember you so you pack a MAJOR punch in your last stanzas!

    P.S. I'll remember you for sure!

    but i don't think your soul is ugly..just troubled. but i know what ya mean in one way, sometimes you just have feelings so intense that words can't describe them, and you can't write what u feel cause ya don't kno how to explain.

    Excellent

    Its so simply worded- but the impact there. I love the last 2 lines. As an artist myself I can relate to the theme of painting the way you feel.
