A/N: I got the idea from this: http://www.eastoftheweb.com/short-stories/UBooks/YelWal.shtml


there is something on my head

                                                               shoulders

it pushes, pulls, drags me down

i try to

             fight it

then fall to the floor.

i dont want to leave

yet still i

do

oozing

till im just goo

congealing into

a blob

of despair

hardening

so brittle

i will break if i so much as

                                                    frown

only immune to concern

                                                   smiles

soon i am so bland

i collect dust

the scent of the yellow wallpaper

suspended

                      forever

                                    in

                                         me

creeping around leaving smooches of tears
