Do You See Me?

Look beneath the façade.
Do you really see me?
Or do you see brushstrokes.
An unfinished masterpiece.

The splashes and flashes.
Cutting across the misery.
Colours spattered carelessly.
Tapestry of a misspent life.

Am I still here?
A flicker amidst the gloom.
Is there space in your heart?
For a perfectly flawed artwork.
