My Room

Familiar four walls,
A safe haven with prison bars,
Let me out!
I can’t leave today…
Lacking the strength to
Cross the threshold.
Leave me alone,
But please don’t leave me.

Familiar four walls,
Purple,
My favorite.
Ridiculous vibrance,
Stop mocking me!
I love you,
No, please, I didn’t mean to yell.

Familiar four walls,
Adorned with dreamcatchers and symbols of peace,
Screaming into my pillow,
With senseless, burning tears,
Namaste.

Familiar four walls,
Clothes strewn about,
Plans half finished,
Abandoned, on the floor,
Maybe I’ll pick you up again,
Maybe tomorrow I’ll have the strength.
