Paint my eyes open. Paint my mouth closed. Paint me in chains holding a painted rose. Paint broken bread at my paint-broken feet. Paint decaying colors in the paint-colored street. Paint sunlight too bright, paint night too dark. Paint the lightpost shadowing a rape in the park. Paint lack of pain and paint lack of truth. Paint over words to satisfy painted you. Paint over paint and what do you get? A paint-slathered mess. Now let's forget. |

I guess what you write has different meanings for us all. Personally I'm tired of people painting over everything just to please theirself. All the paint in the world won't change what I am. Even if I wanted it to. |
