Examine the painting, examine the patient.

Examine the painting, examine the patient

I stopped
I started
I pondered
I reflected
I sketched
Until I was able to
Tune out the distraction
Live in the moment
Connect to others
Connect to myself
The painting allowed me to
Express unreleased anger
Express frustration
That had been hidden
That was only beginning to be overspill
Onto the canvas
It allowed me to focus
Momentarily
Until
I saw what I had created
Until
I saw my own potential
