I Paint the Room Into a Sky

For passion week, I decided to share one of my poems that I wrote a long time ago. I used to be a passionate  singer-songwriter, and I was even a poet beforehand. Now, I am returning to my roots and taking on a new opportunity to be something beyond just who I am in academia by sharing a piece of who I am as a person.

I paint the room into a sky,

bright lights cover the moon,

and there was you.

And every color splattered on your

faded face, went away.

A distant memory keeps calling

why can’t you erase?

I paint the room and outline every constellation.

Tracing the stars with a broken heart

to an unknown destination.

I’m fading into your star,

I’m falling into your heart.

I gravitate towards you,

But you don’t want me to.
