Feeling though...

As I pick up the brush
I enhance beauty with strokes
and lines
I create another person living another life
doing something I'm not
why does envy seethe through my skin
as I paint her
I crack
my looks could never compare
I crawl deep down inside myself
my heart and breath lie still
another moment I lived
I should have killed the thoughts in mind
the jealousy that I cant help but have
I just continue to make more beauty
but its what I cant be
I'm not happy with me
feeling though I should have been granted
the gift of that reflection I'm looking at
that's not quite exact
see I just made her more than she already is
but when I try to paint myself
I'm no trace of beauty
a misconception of grace
so i learn not to even look at my face
knowing if i could
I would just erase
me
