Concept of Identity

In hues that echo life's unseen strife,

Upon the canvas, the Concept of Identity comes to life.

A narrative of scars, both seen and concealed,

Yet beauty emerges, unconventionally revealed.

Battles etched in every stroke, a visual tale,

Acrylic whispers, resilience prevails.

In the dance of colors, scars find a place,

A testament to strength, a visual grace.

Oh, Concept of Identity, painted with care,

A masterpiece where beauty lays bare.

In the mirror of art, reflections anew,

Finding beauty in scars, a truth to pursue.

Traditional norms, a canvas can defy,

In strokes and shades where scars belie,

A symphony of strength, an unconventional hymn,

Beauty found where others might not swim.

So, let the colors speak, let the canvas sing,

Concept of Identity, in resilience, you bring,

A beauty uncommon, an unconventional art,

In the scars, a testament to a resilient heart.
