Graphic Card: Blank Canvas

Metaphor Poem: Blank Canvas

I am a blank canvas
plain and boring
unamusing to be seen
but if you really knew
the truth behind the canvas
you would know there is more
to the blank canvas than
what you see
I am a blank canvas
waiting to find a
purpose in life itself.
Waiting to be heard,
to inspire others in the world.
I am a blank canvas
having no meaning in life when
its just blank.
But, when there is color it brings
the best out in canvas.
Its the canvas everyone
can enjoy.
I am a blank canvas
that has more meaning to life
that can be judged and not care
that blank canvas is me.
