Black Curves and Lines

Black curves and lines                          

Stark on the white,                   

Eyes scan side to side              

To read what you write.           

A link connects me                  

To the shapes of spite              

That blemish the page, 

A venomous blight.                  

Black curves and lines  

Stark on the white,                   

The beliefs of you,       

My mouth doth recite.

Accusations thrown

Examined in light,

Turmoil follows me

Deep in the dark night.

Black curves and lines

Stark on the white,

I envision you

Gleeful with excite.

Friends’ helping shoulders

Guide me to full height,

Having found my legs,

I am ready to fight.

Black curves and lines

Stark on the white,

I will live my life

And not feel contrite.
