Poetry
MY INTERIOR DESIGNER
by: Tara Roper
She enters this room, a thousand times she has been in,
But, just now noticing how these walls close in.
Harder to breathe, she sighs deep,
stopping to consider the décor she keeps.
She pasted together this paper didn’t she?
Not knowing that one day it would be,
what defined her, showing wear and tear
Redecorate? Oh no, she wouldn’t dare…
or could she spruce things up a bit?
Do these colors and patterns even match or fit?
The captor’s lies she has hearing over and over she feels,
that she can’t take it any more. She starts to peel.
With each frayed sheet, uncovering more,
just how she has been affected by this deceptive décor.
She is almost done, slinky paper all around.
Grabbing the last strip, as her knees hit the ground.
“Help me Lord, my interior designer,
I’ve given in too long to that inferior designer.”
Bare walls. Clean slate again. She begins to truly smile.
“Lord, this room is for you, do you recommend a style?”
“Which pattern is best Lord, for my floor, to my roof?”
“My child don’t you know?
My design is always
TRUTH.
