This place we call earth
this haven we call home-
does not feel the same anymore...
The bed
of assurance ,now tattered and torn-spits out wires
piercing into every inch of my stolen skin,poking me more as i grow
those pure white curtains
of safety-once how efficiently the sun's rays would they shield
now they have come loose,fallen onto the floor-used too long
the floor
once so reliable and strong,
now might break,get away from beneath my feet
The door
with it's million locks-now beaten and broken
leaves me with nothing to mow the lawn of my innocence and oblivion with
This place-it feels like someone else owns it now
someone i sold it to
someone who called my curtains weak and pulled them down
someone who complained about the dark and kicked open the door-
burning me to ashes in the rays that made their way in.
someone who tore the pink bed sheets saying that they were too exposed
someone who choked me by my neck and blocked my mind by my nose
grabbed my hand
and pushed me into this-
this room that was once a place i used to call home
a place of which-i was the creator
a place i had my whole own world in
But now i had sold it
given the keys away,handed my strings to someone else to grip
someone who pushed me back into this place i did not want to be in
a place i would die in-rot crying in
forced me to breathe the toxic air of standards
NOW
i see those curtains fallen
on a floor that's broken
the door detached from
a ceiling that's leaking
the bed tattered and torn
and realise
that the only hands that had touched them were MINE
"then how is it?"i ask myself
"how is it that this place i once called home feels like prison?!"
when a voice whispers
"darling...you let society get in."

A/n:hey guys!Kaleidoscopic ink is up and working again.
i hope you enjoyed his poem.There is a lot of symbolism in it and by that i mean A LOOOOTTTT!
You can suggest a title in my comments
i did not want to ruin the fun by explaining the poem so well i leave it up to you to find the hidden meanings.if you still want to know-you can ask me in my comments.i will tell you just the essence since i am planning on writing another chapter sometime just explaining the symbolism since EVERY line has something.I suck at non verse poetry(you can see that)...however i really wanted to write this.
The main message i wanted to give to everyone was that we should not change ourselves because of what other people say.we should be comfortable in our owns skin and not change what makes us-well.... US!always be who you are,there is no need to kill your originality for someone else.
We all like an original better than a duplicate!
