Blank Spaces

I watch these Blank Spaces.

They float in my head,

They circle around my bed.

Empty thoughts, devoid of any understanding or reason.


I watch these Blank Spaces.

Some are dark and some are light

Some say nothing and yet some fight.

Empty hopes and dreams together commit some kind of strange treason.


I watch these Blank Spaces.

You won't understand what they mean,

You can't because you haven't seen what I've seen.

Empty words, that to you, will mean nothing.


I watch these Blank Spaces. 

You might think my thoughts something to be abased,

But they are as much a part of me, as your eye, to your face.

Empty ideas that are above everything.


I watch these Blank Spaces.

They may be completely random

Or maybe things I'll never abandon,

Empty ideals that will always be there.


I watch these Blank Spaces.

You seem to think that blank spaces mean the dullest of thoughts,

But to me they mean battles and dreams still yet to be fought.

Empty joys and sorrows I have yet to bear.


I watch these Blank Spaces.

I watch as I start to paint upon their sharp, crisp walls,

As I follow my heart without a pause.

Empty walls that start to be filled.


I watch these Blank Spaces,

As Blank spaces turn with color till full.

As clean turns to messy, and messy to beautiful.

Empty ideas turn into pictures I build.


I watch these Blank Spaces.

Some will be dark, full of depression and hurt.

Some will stay white with nothing, I've learned. 

Empty walls can turn black with hurt.


I watch these Blank Spaces.

It's hard sometimes as I watch them be colored with the blackness of tears,

Or painted with too many colors of anxiety and fears.

Empty white walls can sometimes get burnt.


I watch these Blank Spaces.

You see some thoughts are bright and full of light,

And others I still need to fight.

Empty walls you will never completely understand.


I watch these Blank Spaces,

I don't care if you understand.

I don't care, just please offer your hand.

Empty but they still mean something.


I watch these Blank Spaces,

If I offer to show them to you,

You will be one of the few.

Empty Blank Spaces that I would love if you would help me to fill.
