Empty White Walls

Empty white walls
No life, personality, decoration
Staring back at me without eyes
Can't help but wonder what's inside
Or if it's all just empty
Beneath that paint I think
Yesterday
I heard a quiet heart trying to beat
"Mommy, is there death in there?"

-Andi

Author notes

Ok, all this was just me challenging myself to write about a white wall with nothing on it. I wrote it in under five minutes and this isn't my favorite though, considering the time, I do kind of admire it.

    Hmmm very nice. It's just a flow of thought which I love. I especially like the line "I can't help but wonder what's inside" it is an interesting thought that can be interpreted as looking at a bland person and wondering if there is anything deeper in them, or wondering what happened in a house. I often wonder what has happened in my house or in other people's homes in the past, perhaps a happy family lived there, or maybe there are some dark secrets hidden within the house. Good thoughts, nice write.

      Thank you, like I said, I'm not all that fond of this one and so I'm kind of shocked to have JUST posted it and already have two people commented on it, lol

      I will admit the beginning, well, sucked.

      Was there something alive inside or not was what it meant.
