The Room

Four walls washed in white,
My first year of college
A dull dorm room.

Spacious compared to other rooms,
Filled with laughter and fun
A cool roommate.

The overhead light
Makes the room feel like a “prison”,
Her words not mine.

The windows don’t help,
They enhance the idea of imprisonment,
Both of our lamps diminish the idea.

Four walls washed in white,
The color of our personalities
Shape the room and make it better.

My wall has a few poems made by me,
A bunch of yellow sticky notes
Filled with random music lyrics
Written by my roommate.

Her wall has a few movie posters,
Family pictures adorn her side,
The room no longer feels like a prison,
It has become our second home.
