Life

Who am I

By Steven SmallPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Sometimes

It’s right in front of your eyes

You look directly at it

You should see it

Know it

But you’re blind

The colors in your life

Graffiti your mind

Distorting your black and white

You can’t move forward

Heaving the back door open

To your past

Lying to yourself

You cry

“why me”

When the whole time

It’s you

You squander the blessings

From your personal God

To slake the thirst

Of your personal devil

How do you find your heaven

When you fit so well

In your personal hell

My mind

Graffiti colored

By my life

Always distorts

My black and white
