Beige
Sitting in a swivel chair
Lights on
Fingers ready and itching for inspiration
To spring forth from these
Commonplace pale beige walls
The sound of some winged insect
Wildly flinging itself against the wall
An irritating and irrational
buzz buzz buzz
Muggy air leaks in
Through the open window
Parents' voice filter in as well
A soothing background
But one that can't block
The interminable
buzz buzz buzz
That gives you
The uncomfortable
Twitchy
Feeling
Of not being alone
Everything off balance
Music too loud
Skin too hot
The blank blank page
buzz buzz buzz
Just a young girl
With no real
Life experience
Just aspirations
That border on impossibility
Ready to defy gravity
But not sure how
Trapped in beige walls
