~*~An Un~Perfect Picture~*~

If I painted a picture,
what do you think you'd see?
Would you see someone else,
or would you see me?

Would the person be happy,
or someone being sad?
Should it be a smile,
or maybe someone going mad?

Would there be a grin,
painted across the face?
But there could be,
just an empty space.

Why dont you,
paint a picture of me.
And tell me what it is,
that you really see.

ERIN-
   this is really beautiful..
   very well-written...and a
   thought-provoking piece.  
   enjoyed it much.

btw...I went ahead and locked the thread
that you edited the poem out of so everyone
would know which one contained the poem.

Erin, this is beautiful! I really like it! I find myself asking questions similar to these. (espically with Justin) Have a nice day!  

I can't see at all. Even if I could it would all be gray, put your picture on my wall, it reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad.

Hey,
I think this one is done really well, it's so good!  What an interesting idea, looking at pictures, seeing how others see you.  Nice job!

i love this Erin.  sorry it took me a while to reply to it.  I would like to paint that picture of you if you don't mind.  it would probably be a smiley face with angel wings and a halo.  You have this ability to make people comfortable when you talking to them.  Not only that, you always seem to put smiles on everyones faces.  At least you always do on mine  .  see there's a big smile for ya   hey, there's another one
