White Walls

The walls of this place

Are too white

Everything is

The hospital gown

I'm clothed in

While they sit me

In a white room

Under a blazing white light

To question me

They keep me here

Caged,

Trapped

Like an animal

I'm no animal

I'm a person

Just like you

They keep me here

Just because I'm a little

Different

They always watch me

With their unworthy eyes

Upon me

So I can't sleep

Constantly observed

Night and day

Just in case

I can't take it anymore

I'll kill—

No

Not me

"Surely you don't want to kill anyone"

They ask me that

I hide behind

My curtain of longebony hair

But my reply is

Always the same

"But I do."
