A blade , A white canvas ,
 Her arm the canvas
 Grab the blade
 Paint a picture
 5, 6, 7, 8
 Lines all neat and straight
 Her picture made
 A work of art
 It came straight from her heart
 She'll make another picture tomorrow.

Wow, Lydia. This has to be my favourite poem you've written. It's so... I don't have the word for it. It's amazing. I absolutely adore how you turned SH into a work of art. Because for some people, that's what it is. It allows readers to really understand a person who SH's. This is incredible.

This is really nice! I pretty much agree with Lynds' comment here.    
            
               
 Do you ever get a little bit tired of lifeLike you're not really happy but you don't wanna die

This is really good!! Amazing.  I agree with Lynds.    
            
               
   From day one I talked about getting out
 But not forgetting about
 How all my worst fears are letting out
 He said, "Why put a new address on the same old loneliness?"
 When breathing just passes the time
 Until we all just get old and die

Lynds said it perfectly.  This is an amazing poem and I'm so glad you decided to share it with us.  
            
               
 wanderlust consumed her;foreign hearts & exotic minds compelled her.
 she had a gypsy soul
 and a vibrant heart for the unknown.
