You're in a white room
The wall is blank
The floor is clean
You're standing in the middle
The wall holds a single painting
The other walls are blank
You walk to the painting
The frame is empty
The frame has a crack
You pick away at the crack
The corner breaks away
The frame leaks grey
You look closer
The grey covers the wall behind the frame
The walls of the room get a shade darker
You scratch the crack in the frame once more
The crack in the frame grows
The frame leaks several drops of black
You scrape away the cracks
The trickle of black becomes a stream
The stream becomes a river
Your feet are covered in the blackness
The grey has covered your torso
The crack is now a hole
You try to wipe away the grey and black on your body
The grey goes nowhere but feels as though it weren't there
The black is wet and taints your hands
You scratch at the crack again
The crack grows but nothing comes out
The black is at your knees now
You're stuck in place by the black filling the room
The black rises like a liquid but doesn't move
You look down
The pieces of the frame you broke off are floating on the black
The pieces are clean unlike yourself
You pick up the pieces with your blackened hands
The pieces go in one by one
The black stops filling the room
You add another piece
The walls lose their grey covering
The last piece is in your blackened hands
You place it in the frame
The frame is whole now
The room is white again
You look as silver fills the frame and crack
The frame was not for a picture
The frame was for a mirror
You look in the mirror
The grey has covered your face
The black is at your throat
You watch as the shades wash away
The grey is a puddle on the floor
The black is a floral pattern stemming from your feet
You look up at the mirror, everything is in color except you
You wake up

Emotions Overflow
PoésieThis is a book composed of emotions, not always poetry at it's finest nor is it a work of art. It's a mess, just like the day to day goings of life. This book was written over the course of the 2020-2021 school year
