“Sometimes I shut my eyes,
A room with walls fills the darkness.
My current state decides the fate
Of the surroundings that besiege me.
In calmer times the walls are bare.

But in polar moments of anger and stress,
The room is disgusting,
The room is a mess.
I haven’t found an in-between,
and I wonder what feeling would cause that scene.”
