Washed Away

On days of excitement

I am as golden yellow as a star

shining just as bright

standing on stage

being alive once again.

Or maybe sitting on a bench

music in front of me

fingers floating across the keys

like flying with every note.

Just playing on the wind.

On other days

I am just a gray wash

almost invisible

scared and shy

with strings attached

I am a puppet of a person

hiding under a jacket

eyes on the ground

doing whatever I am told

looking for ways to shield

the real me from others.

Today I hope for a spark of that gold star...

GO AWAY gray wash,

I don't want you to be me anymore.
