Paint me a picture <br />make it anyway you desire <br />Don't worry about your design <br />there is no style required <br />Make it big and bright <br />stretching for miles on end <br />Have it reflect your feelings <br />or be a sketch of your friend <br />Draw what is in your heart <br />at this very instance <br />Don't be shy <br />go the distance <br />Be loud or soft <br />deep or shallow <br />Make it full of emotion <br />or completely hollow <br />Give it your all <br />just answer the call <br />give in to what you want <br />because long is the fall <br />If you want <br />to risk your eternal dwelling <br />To paint your picture <br />to what you think is selling <br />You are free to do it <br />...or you could say screw it! <br />Instead you have <br />every God given right <br />To restart your picture <br />with a bucket of white <br />Whitewashing away <br />all the messes that left it stained <br />Making a clean slate <br />in a way that can't be explained <br />You probably ask <br />how can this grace be given <br />Well my friend <br />just pray to be forgiven.<br /><br />Trevor Schulte<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/paint-me-a-picture/
