The Colour of Truth
Location
My heart bleeds
onto the glaring whiteness
of this canvas.
Oh how should
I state the story
of my soul?
Staining the white canvas
with colour.
Red.
Black.
Orange.
Grey.
Colours of the soul
painted on a mural
of white nothing.
How will it end?
With these colours of hate
running through
the once beautiful emptiness?
And so my heart,
without consideration
of the soul,
tells the story that I am unwilling to share.
Forever will the mural
be buried.
Deep inside the recesses of my mind.
Unseen,
Ruining,
Binding.
Unable to get rid of it,
yet unable to live
without it.
It stays with me.
Slowly the colour,
the truth,
seeps through me.
Through the white blankness
of my secrets.
One day everyone
will
see
me.
One that has no need
for secrets.
