Dark Like the Sun
He has locked her in the cage
Hidden away from the rest of the world.
“It does not do to dwell,” he says
So she sits and stares in hopeless curiosity.
“Life is very much more exciting now than it used to be.”
Obsession has cured boredom.
She has found her sanity
Beyond the break in her room.
Her hope has become this yellow wall.
She knows what is waiting on the other side:
Freedom.
Just outside her reach.
Covered by that ugly color,
There is an evil on the other side.
One that he has helped to create
But only she can see.
Such a bright color
Never kept a room so dark.
Beyond the yellow wall
Lays her sanity.
Very nice I like the idea of the yellow wall in poem form. It shows what she hopes for her self and confusion.
ReplyDeleteI can sense that it is based on The Yellow Wallpaper in the woman's obsession to the yellow wall. You described her sanity very well and I like the part "She knows what is waiting on the other side: Freedom." because it is so related with the original novel and its theme.
