I showed it at facebook, where I was asked "why [do] such as sad painting?" - I explained that I was just teaching myself to paint & wanted a challenge [so chose Picasso]
then it became clear, it was a sad painting, it has taken me about a month to do during which I have really struggled over lost love & past history... closer to the edge

maybe there is more to the comment than I first realised
maybe it chose itself because of my situation
maybe it needed to be done

"but it's always these crazy things that drag me down
spent a lifetime all alone wishing that I'd never been born
in the evening when I worry about the state of my mind
if you loved me wouldn't leave me & we'd all be happy at home"
