i've taken up finger painting
with self portraits my specialty
i have a hard time staying in the lines
with all the pinks, yellows, blues, and greens

never once have i used a mirror
i rely solely on memory
if i made my art any clearer
not sure if it'd look anything like me

i start off each painting with something in mind
so it's hard to tell which look fits me best
as my fingers swirl adding colors and curls
making each portrait different from the rest
