“My Room”
By Ashley O’Hare
Pictures on the walls,
lights in every corner–
my childhood bedroom
was far warmer.
I tore down the photographs
when dark truths spoiled bright memories.
The light bulbs felt out of place
for a room I turned to hide.
Don’t worry-
I bought some abstract art
to line the walls
and dull the echoes.
I have no clue
what the colorful blobs
were intended to represent,
but it successfully got people
to stop worrying again.
