White Walls


Expansive white room

With white floors and white walls

Empty, save for me.

No windows to show the beauty of nature

The love for which is above me

Neither does it show the hatred of the human world

The cursed, vile, obnoxious.....good, kind, admirable lives are not present

 

Alone in this white room with white walls

I am the only colour.

It's distorting that nothing on me matches -- yellow, red, black, green, blue

I dont belong in this perfect white room with white walls

But I want to belong.

Why could I not be as white as these walls and floor?

Not a speck upon them, not a crack, white and nothing more

 

All I see is light reflected by white

Blinding my dark eyes

Everything about me contradicts my surroundings

I am different

Seperate from nature

Seperate from society

Seperate from my encasing white room

But--

 

I am alone in this room. 

Happily alone in this room.

Surrounded by such perfection

I am happy to be a variation

The pure white is inside of me 

Not on the outside for people to see.

This difference is what sets me aside

From nature, society, no rules to abide

I am me, simply contrary to the rest

And the person I am now, to me is the best
