Analysis of Can You Paint A Picture Of Me

Paul Hardy III 1995 (Greenville NC)



Can you Paint a picture of me
And let me see how it turn out
Wonder what you see when you look at me
Always been the shy type
People say I’m soft spoken
And I have a lot of pain in my heart
But I have a chosen
To put a smile on my face
Do you see it
Not saying this painting has to be detailed
But when you paint this picture
I want people that know me
To feel me when they see it
If not… this painting has no reason
Make sure you get my good side
I’be been told I have a lazy eye
Which is the one on my right
And pardon my left
I have been known to slouch
More to that side
Upright you say
Ok
Sitting straight now
How long do I hold this Mam
A few more mins
My anxiety is kicking
My legs start to jumping
And I can’t sit still
Can you paint a picture of me still
While I sit there trying to heal…

Paul Hardy III

Been writing since the age of 6. Now being older to understand poetry and the nature of it I value it more. No right or wrong way to express you in poetry. With that being said I write from my heart, my pain and my passion more…
