room of depression

pink walls plastered

with thick sheets of paper.

 

tapestries hung by

tiny sharp nails.

 

shelves stacked with

meaningless old trinkets.

 

sparkles of light adding

to the colorful purple lights

 

candles burning in every corner

crackles of flame and wick.

 

half-eaten dishes scattered

on surfaces never to be cleaned.

 

melody humming from

the blue spinning disc.

 

so full of everything i could wish for

yet so empty so lonely.

  • Attention Seeking

    I shut down a lot

    I don’t know why I do it.

    I can’t control it,

    but for some reason

    the voice inside my head

    says it is because I am

    attention seeking.

     

    I know I am not.

  • Case file

    I love it when you call me

     by my name.

    When you label me.

     

    Like a doll sitting in 

    the display.
