If I could walk up walls and across ceilings,
I would paint flowers
and suns in all the corners of my room.
If I was sad I would go into the corner
with brightest sun and most beautiful flowers.
My room would be my hamster wheel
an endless journey.
I would tape pictures everywhere
to remember things I always forget.
If I was scared I would run to the ceiling
where no one could catch me.
I would let birds fly in my room because they can be free,
and fly as much as they would like
and I would still be able to catch them.
and hold them close
I would be closer to what is outside of these walls.
But if my family were to know
they would think me mad
they would tie me to a chair and say
stay
stay and never move.
because walking on walls and across the ceiling
is not what NORMAL
human beings do.
