“canvas”
My soul
is an empty canvas
waiting to be filled with color

Sunshine Poetry by Crys Sherman
poems and short stories from the ribcage
“canvas”
My soul
is an empty canvas
waiting to be filled with color
“Schematics”
I have a need to re-draw the schematics of my brain
And remove the mental instability
So I can feel like I am whole for once
Rewire everything
To go where it’s supposed to
And feel normal in this ever-aching body
“Burnt Paper”
The letters you wrote to me
Are only sweet
When I can smell the paper
Burning
soft eyes hide the ache
tired skin and deep circles
no sleep for weeks now
“Fire”
My obsession with flames
Started when I was eight
I lit a fire in the closet
And quickly put it out
After burning my fingers
Since then I keep hoping
No one puts me out next time
