I dip my head in different colours
As I run across an empty canvas.
I splat some black
Feeling dark with sadness.
Strokes of violets, pinks and purples
Feeling confident and hopeful.
Touch of blue and green
All relaxed and calm
No longer feeling glum.
Splash some orange and some yellow
Swirling happiness and brightness.
Bringing colour to my world
Feelings felt inside me.
Created on a canvas
By a paintbrush
for everyone to see.
