pastel tees and pretty smiles, that's what he was known for with heart on his sleeves and shine in his brown eyes, he was oblivious of the darkness crawling up his shadows
no one made him aware they were busy fighting for their own light and soon the darkness reached him
it crept up his legs and wrists slowly and sneakily enveloping him his heart got tainted and the pastels turned to obsidian
his lips no longer adorned a smile instead a frown carrying the weight of his despair he concealed his darkness with the long sleeves he wore while trying to retain the last untainted pieces of his heart
no longer his brown eyes shined and no longer he wore pretty smiles

'Oblivion is a bliss' and it's true in so many ways. 'Tainted' is a poem based on this theme only, it reflects the naivety and innocence of an individual before he/she/they become aware of the eyes of the others and the second voice in their subconscious. It takes account of both the situation before and after an individual's consciousness and how it brings changes in them.
