How Can I?
At first,
The Spider of blood veins,
Filled with screaming red, I’m emotional
Surrounded by hospital white, hopeless and stuck
I’m sick, vomit green staining my brain
But I don’t want to get away from the normalcy of habit
I must rid myself of the bitter,
I just don’t know how.
But,
scales,
A warm yellow, coated with a sweet chocolate brown
I’m rational, fulfilled, the envy green fading from flesh
It reveals a healthy, beautiful tone
Flowers bloom below my feet
I am free, and I want more
I discovered how.
And then,
A Brick wall,
A chilled grief gray drenches me
Fresh greenery dies, shriveling into an ugly brown
The maternal purple is torn from my heart, leaving a hole
I want to run away, but I am stuck
I need to get away
But I don’t know how.
