and then you saw me

i was flying down the corridor

where lonely souls linger

and solitude embraces you with warmth

no

not a negative space

not a dark place

where tears are shed

out of despair

and smiles are subdued

perhaps they aren't really prominent

not so much evident

yet

no

not a negative space

not a dark place

i have grown my wings into the walls

of confinement that sets me free

i have torn down the curtains

for everyone to glare at me

my stark nakedness

mistaken honesty

is mere nakedness

and the shame

but still

no not a negative space

not a dark place

i have learnt to dig deep

deeper

into meanings

and meaningless things

that is made up of meaningful means

and excavated emotions

lost in interpretation (plural)

yet yet

no not a negative space

not a dark place

i, 

i have become i

and am becoming you

while you read this

and read me

and read between the lines

and the empty spaces

of my expressions

left at your discretion

no

no

not a negative space

not a dark place

there is a lamp

without a shed

that casts down shadows 

onto the walls of my world

where you are allowed to only visit

not stay

not maintain

not affect

not mean

but listen

and the switch is with nobody

and nobody is doing just fine, thank you

the shadows 

onto the wall of my world

where you are allowed

to turn on the light

and sleep.
