Inspired by the book Sun Child by world_joy_

I covered the canvas while covering my soul.

The bright colors protected my broken soul, hiding the pain within.

When the painting is done, I can finally breath.

I look at my coated hands and feel lighter.

But I know that the paint will fade and the darkness hidden underneath will show again.

People frown at me. No at my hands.

They don't understand and I don't explain.

Shameful.

Wrong.

But I smile. They can't tell it fake and they don't care to know.

Why do I paint?

Many ask.

But only one knows.

Only he know the protection it gives me.

For I have seen the darkness and only the colors can truly protect me from what lies within.
