I'm a used canvas.
Easily discarded, easily tossed;
Easily painted over to start anew.

I come to you blank, but with layers:
Colours under a white,
All of which, meant to hide the truth.

When you cut me open I bleed.
And this colour, these mistakes,
Shine through

But only for a few seconds,
Only for another moment or two.

After all, it's only a little scar
We'll cover that one up with white paint too.
