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."
