Poetry

Abstract

Written by Jacob Ibrag

No place for black

and white. Within your mind,

you’ve always despised those coloring

book lines. Nurturers tried to define you,

to convince you to take part in their lie. We

were born in shades of gray, to bask within

abstract reality. Let go of their fiction.

Exhale unapologetically.
