Poems
Sep 2016
color me empty
(washed out
and falling
through a pastel
hued autumn
into winter white
and worried)
thick and fuzzy
headed through
multi-toned rings
dimmed down
colorless jewelry
that doesn't fit me
(if i shut my eyes i
can see colors bouncing
through the gray
matter lost to time)
and i'm sorry
for who i've become
sorry for who
i always was
(shouting in colors
outside and
choked in monotones
where it matters)
yellow and navy
to match my
favorite pillowcase
the one place i've
found my head
feeling safe
(i love the darkness until
it swallows me whole
and i can't find my way
back into the light)*
a rose gold
regret
a lifetime of
my own
eyelids to
forget.
