My heart’s a gallery painted in blues
Every brushstroke a choice I didn’t choose
Frames are crooked the light’s too dim
Dust on the corners where dreams grow thin
This is my portfolio a mess of regret
Pages of stories I haven’t lived yet
Every flaw every tear every unlit glow
This is my portfolio don’t let it show
The shadows whisper where colors once screamed
Sketches of futures I never redeemed
The canvas is torn but I still hold the pen
Can I start over or is this the end
I’m a masterpiece in a broken frame
A little bit wild a little bit tame
If you squint hard enough you might see
The chaos the beauty the half of me
This is my portfolio a mess of regret
Pages of stories I haven’t lived yet
Every flaw every tear every unlit glow
This is my portfolio don’t let it show
I’ll keep painting through the night
Chasing shadows chasing light
My portfolio’s not done
It’s just begun

Painted Portfolio
Sam
This song explores the idea of being incomplete yet valuable. The narrator sees themselves as a masterpiece trapped in a broken frame, flawed but meaningful. The portfolio is not a finished product but a living process. It's a song for anyone who feels lost, reminding them that the journey itself is an art form, and it's never too late to begin again.
