Blindfolded Art

"Remember it all, every insult, every tear. Tattoo it on the inside of your mind. In life, knowledge of poisons is essential. I've told you, nobody becomes an artist unless they have to.”
 
 
buckets of cyanide spew from behind your teeth    
impregnating my mind with pearlescent paints    
I draw the everlasting poison up through my pen    
and etch your onyx colored lies over my grey walls    
   
I scribble the painful scars onto my cortex    
frantically working nonstop on the new graffiti      
slashing below the surface entering the bloodstream    
while garnet stained flesh drips like melted icicles    
   
I plead for a break from your endless venom    
you oblige me and I strip away my blindfold    
astonished by the masterpiece I have composed    
I self-destruct to make you my permanent muse
