A painted picture
by Jeanette Korbel

I painted a picture

A picture for you

With elegant colors

The perfect stroke

My paintbrush

Painted itself

My emotions

Drew it all out

Patience

As I take time

With each line

The shape of your face

Seeping into the canvas

The perfect picture

In my mind

As I get closer to

The finish line

My patience become

Unnoticeable

I forget to go slow

And my lines become

Scribbles and

It doesn’t look like you anymore

I spent hours

Driving myself insane

Hoping it would be perfect

When I put it into your hands

Now you’ll never see it

And I wasted time again

Trying to paint the perfect picture

The perfect picture for you.
