Poem -

My room = My mind

They say the way you keep your room reflects your mind
and I think they're right.
My room is messy
but not in the way that I know where everything's at
in the way that I never invite anyone over
because I don't want them to see the mess
in the way that I've hidden things like my feelings so well
that I can't even find them
in the way that the photos on the wall are ruined with age
some so distorted I can't even tell what they were, like my memories
in the way that I wish the bitter cold would go away
but like depression, it never does
in the way that everything is everywhere and nothing is where it's supposed to be
like my knowledge during exams
in the way that i wish I could get out but I know I can't
not until it's clean
not until it's fixed
