Unfamiliar

Folder: 
Chains

I told them my favorite color

has always been the rain

my favorite sound was silence

when no one had anything to say.

 

My room was a dark closet

it was my hiding place

no one could find me there

no one recognized my face.

 

It was exciting to start over

I never felt so brand new

a world that never saw me before

a friendship planted already grew.

 

Sometimes I feel like a flower

trying to sprout through the sidewalk crack

sometimes I feel like falling into a black hole

and never finding a way back.

 

I'm no longer scared of the unfamiliar

I made friends with the shadow on my wall

everything will turn out one way or another

It's better than never changing at all.
