"you are different."
...How so?
"Look at everyone else. They are merely words while you are poetry."

Abstract
Staring at her mirror
With trembling hands
She think of herself as mud
Surrounded by golden sand,
Days are to long
She barely survives
Nights are too short
For her tired eyes
In an art gallery
She wishes to be the girl in a forest
Lost within the trees
Or the snow on Mount Everest
Or a ship sailing the seven seas
Perhaps the daisies in a still motion painting
Perhaps a picture of a warrior in training
But she is neither the girl in a forest
Nor the snow atop Everest
Nor the warrior with a sword in her fist
She is not the ship amidst the sea
She is not the daisies
And she never will be
She is the splash of red on an empty canvas
A beautifully perfect mess
She, indeed, is art
Though nobody understands it
When wind blows through your paintbrush bristles
She is the pattern of water when it ripples
She is abstract
And she shouldn't think of herself
As anything less.
