Four White Walls

White.
Multiple meanings strung together
Incomplete, forgotten, uncertain
Mind voided, voice unheard, stories not yet begun

White. 
Formerly a color of comfort, now the color of fear.

Surrounded with no escape.
Meaningless panic 
Bound by circumstances.
Limited power.
I sat on the inside.
I forgot to look up.

Frantic. Motionless. 
I contemplate my next steps
No movement comes.
Not to my lips, nor to my feet.
Thoughts still racing.
Heart still pounding.
Does an answer exist?

Suddenly you're there
Vague and blurred, yet unmistakeable
You look up, fear keeps my eyes on you.

Gesturing up, calmness in each motion
My head tilts, light catches my iris
A circle of warmth draws closer
Pulls me, lifts me, breaks me free

I stand on a meadow of opportunity
My feet with adrenaline 
I see a horizon.
Beauty, Strength, Opportunity
All was lost and now I see

Life worth living
Love lasting
Hope fueling.
Faith worth keeping me here.
