Plastic Bag
My room was a mess
I left an empty plastic bag
on the floor, by the bed
And when I walked around
It stuck to my feet
And I shook it off
My room, still a mess
Plastic bag stuck to my feet once again
I shook it off, creating bother
But it remained on the same stop
Dirty room, bloody tissues around
Plastic bag next to my bed
It stuck to my feet, burden at it’s finest
I shook it off and left it there
And it waited for our next meeting
The floor in my room almost invisible
Drawing lines on my body
I drew what I felt
What I felt as the bag stuck to me
Disturbance built up in me
But it remained in it’s place
It’s habitat
Floor in my room almost invisible
Lines on my body
I used to draw what I felt
Now I painted it
And the paint dripped everywhere
And the plastic bag in my room
It had nothing to stick to
That’s when it could finally get away from me.
