Life

by Jeanette - Aries

My view of the
world is truly a bizarre thing
twisted, like
an abstract artist's
view
of my existance
Paint was splashed on
a canvas
and here I am
the smear in
the corner
the one that doesn't truly
belong.
For even in
this abstract
artistic accident that we call
Life
I do not quite fit in
I'm the smear of
paint
that isn't the right color
or shape
the artist's accidental
brush against the
canvas.
And so, I struggle
to blur my
edges
to fit into the picture
Can I belong here?
A soft smudge in 
an angular world?
Will I make it?
Or will I be wiped 
away?
a swipe of the artist's cloth
The painting perfected
by my removal.
I hope not......
I have tried not to be
offensive.
I have tried to
blend my edges into
the world.
I have tried to be
one of you
one of the cubes that the
painter
actually intended to come
into being.
Please, can't you let me
exist?
Even if I don't belong?
