Paint . . . . . .

Paint me a picture,
Paint it with my blade,
Paint it upon my arm,
Paint it so it'll never fade.

Cry me a river,
Cry like you never have before,
Cry like you mean it,
Cry like this because you don't know what's in store.

Bleed me an ocean,
Bleed, for I know you can,
Bleed, for it's not like it's a waste,
Bleed, for all the times I ran.

Tell me your pain,
Tell me what makes you cry,
Tell me your fears,
Tell me why you want to die.

Paint a picture,
Paint it with a blade,
Paint it upon an arm,
Paint it so it'll never fade.

Scream like no one's listening,
Scream to release that pain,
Scream at anyone who's hurt you,
Scream so you don't go insane.

A smile is painted on you face,
A smile is shown to hide those tears,
A smile this fake can only last so long,
A smile that has faded has let in your fears.

Dream your days away,
Dream of days without this pain,
Dream, but only dream sweetly,
Dream of the day your tears will no longer rain.

Paint me a picture,
Paint it with my blade,
Paint it upon my arm,
Paint it so it'll never fade.

    Normally i don't like the use of so much repetion in a poem , but you made it work very well, and it just made the poem work ,
    very well done
    keep it up :)

    I enjoyed the usage of repeition of a word/phrase at the beginning of each stanza...they way you made the repeated words portray alterior ideas was magnificent

    I loved the was that you finished your poem with a stanza already used it was a good ending not rushed i did think that the repitition in this poem was working well it showed potential well done xxx alex xxx
