ObsidianA Poem by Cole HayleyObsidian Tonight I painted myself black and white. I coated every bit of colour with an exquisite grey scale Every single tint of hue was dressed up in a simple garment, Safe from any ridicule and safe from any burden.. I made sure I erased everything I loved about myself, I made sure I covered up my body so I wouldn't offend anybody else, Safe from any ridicule and safe from living room conversations.. Tonight I painted my room black and white. Everything that I built up for the last four years lost every shade of personality, All of my poems became watered down with blotchy ink, Saving them from any ridicule and from any criticism.. I painted my window to make sure that I couldn't see the sunset anymore, Never again will I be so fantasized with the withering stars, Safe from disappointment, I guess. Tonight I painted my past black and white. I made sure I wouldn't be hurt by any unnecessary memories, I made sure that I would lose myself somewhere back there, Covered in tar and silk feathers. Safe from everything.. © 2012 Cole HayleyAuthor's NoteReviews
