Redecorating.

Today, I painted
My bedroom walls,
After years
and years,
Of them being
Just plain white.

I let it dry,
Whilst I read a book outside,
Then I decorated my walls,
With fairylights
And fake vines,
And pride flags galore.

I did this for the first time
Since I was 12 years old.
I guess I thought that
I wouldn't be alive
Long enough to
spend the effort.

Today,
I painted my room,
And decided to live.
