Bursts of light every few inches,
Like that of fireflies all flying in a line.
Each withholding a new thought,
But for now it's just a thought bubble.
We hang on our walls, things with meaning,
Meaning we don't hang ugly art, pointless photos, dreadful colors.
Happiness can be found in the struggle shown on the wall
But to others, its just a wall.
Inspired by the coincidental events of daily life,
Inspired by our pursual of a content mind,
Our wall creates it's meaning,
The memories contribute feeling.
For a string of lights glowing in the night,
Can hold the key to the ever hidden lip of euphoria.

-sit.


The author's comments:

I was inspired by a string of shining clothespins hanging on my wall, and thought that if someone came into my room, many people wouldn't understand the significance of the pictures, order, and importance of the things on my wall. And I thought it is so true and so strange that we can put things up that we want people to see, and not what we are actualy feeling. I think there is a false sense of satisfaction we get from looking at people's things, walls, Instagrams, etc.
