The Spirit of White
February 16, 2022
White, known as peaceful and perfect
The innocence of a baby,
The purity of undriven snow,
False
White is stress.
White is sad!
White is locked in a box.
No escape.
Too perfect!
Don’t contaminate!
White is crying out for help.
Overlooked until the next time she is shown off as a prize to be won
Then she is locked back in her box- trapped.
White is discarded after changing-
Development seen as failure.
Seen as mutled.
Seen as ruined.
Worthless!
White known as clean,
known as pure,
White is locked inside.
Forced to hide.

I characterized the color white as how I felt in my own life. I felt like I couldn't be anything other than what my parents wanted and I felt trapped.
