f They muted my only source of expression
o "That's my voice."
s If I don't write I will explode
l This plethora of text book inspiration
l Will be the death of me I know You know

w The bees, they speak through form and dance
e A honey pot will be my papyral script
t Beyond human sight or damn spread leg stance
i Worthless hired help
h They'll never stop imagined lips

f I'm a genius
o I'll revolutionize
s The way we speak
l The way we die
l I'm immortal
a I'll quickly colonize
w The world will be "Hello buzzer ring my bell
e My buzzing hive Give to me a taste of hell
t Tour the bars between our soul
i All the walls of white We are the same to push is pull"
h All the walls of white
w All the walls of white
f Will be different in the night Go away.

s All the walls of white
l All the walls of white
l All the walls of white Don't you think that alcohol
a All the walls of white Would be the honey of us all
w All the walls of white I'll sleep around just to be sure
e Will be different in the night That's how I sin it's sweet demure
t

h All the walls of white
w All the walls of white
f Are filling me with an intense desire to leave behind a scratch of me
o I am the cut you'll never see, I made the cut to bleed your tea.

Oh! and also lol the "walls of the poem" were supposed to reflect the walls of the dream.

The title is VIII because it is part of a series of poems that I am writing about a fictitious girl named Arabelle. I am trying to write ten poems, each with a slightly different perspective/style (see above) in an attempt to expand myself creatively. As for the repitition of All the walls of white I was attempting to create a panicked sense of being trapped. Every way she turned all she saw were the white walls of her room. Thankyou for your honesty!

WOW This poem blew my mind!.... But I'm really not sure if it's in a good way, or just a WEIRD way! I have NEVER seem a poem quite like this. Points for creativity! I think the repetitiveness of "All the walls of white" was a bit much, but other than that, I did enjoy this... I don't understand the title though... Anyway, thank you for entering my contest!
