I'm surrounded by these four walls,
My thoughts bouncing off of them;
Loud and clear.

I find comfort in these four walls,
Knowing that my cries for help never leave,
That when I wail at night no one can get to me.

I also feel trapped by these four walls,
They make me feel small,
The white colour blinding me when I come up for air each time.

But these four walls know me better than anyone else here,
They know the real me.
Because when I leave these four walls every morning,
I leave as a new me.

This world could show nothing to me,
So what good would living do me?

I'm gonna go back five years,
And color in all the moments I've had with you,
In every shade of the rainbow,
Make it feel like forever.

Cringy love poems and sleepless nights,
Spending every waking moment wishing you were by my side.

Am I really a poet,
If all I ever write about,
Is you?

Stay*,
I whispered,
As the door shut behind me.
