it is supposed to be an imagery poem for english, is it image-y enough? if not, any suggestions?


dried paint

Your face is so hard to read
You hide your emotions
Beneath a mask of indifference.
Your eyes stare ahead, unseeing.
Your eyes shine as they reflect the scene
Back upon itself.
No use to be kept in your eyes
Only to be forgotten
You have no time for petty insignificances.
A swirling fury of thoughts
Scream and fight to get out
But you hold it in.
I see it.
I have known too long
Of your idiosyncrasies,
Of your futile ways of avoiding harsh realities
They stick to your hands like dried paint.
They may crack and peel
Beneath the tireless attack of your fingers
But the traces remain,
In creases and grooves
An inevitable reminder
That you cant hide forever.
Look
Observe how the colors mix together
In beautiful ways.
Miniature masterpieces
On the palms of your hands
Embrace it.
