White Spaces
They stain my grey matter
The ambiguous areas of my indecision
My personality on a white page
A blanket of emptiness over me
A coat of nothingness, but whiteness
I wear it with reluctance
And it shows because I’m blackness
Void of light until an idea like black ink over my innocence
What's black, but emptiness,
The potential to manifest into anything
The unconscious becoming conscientised
Capable of assimilating any colour and any shape
My silhouette
These wide empty spaces that challenge every fibre of my being
What the answer to life’s conundrum is?
Depends on how hard I’m willing to scratch my cranium
I scream at the pen to spoil the spotlessness
To record something in the memory of time
To speak meaningfulness to the unspoken
But mostly its rhetoric, because I’ve already guessed the answer
Guessed where the dominant hand wants to direct my mind
So I write until there are no blank spaces left, not even in me
Nightly, I dream of the infinite combinations I could master
To give it meaning
I write volumes and still I’m not loud enough
