An Object in My Room

Does life always follow patterns?  I see my hands, hands that are coloured orange, Fingernails that showcase the bleeding of the colours, The colour did not stay within the lines  It bled out of the lines of my fingers  But I always see a pattern in everything around me  The broken coconut shells fit each other perfectly  The leaves that were blended to form a paste are so symmetrical.  The moth that is staying at the front door 

Stays proudly with its symmetric wings  Waiting to fly away.

The delicate fabric of my dining table  Where I sit and stare at the dried lemons  Is beautifully detailed and patterned with precision. 

The hands that I join everyday hoping that it would take my pain away are so symmetrical. 

Is all of this just an illusion 

Is life not always the same 

Does it bleed its colour out of the dictated lines 

Or does it not 

Is this all a mistake 

Or is this all an illusion.

Why do I get the sense that ‘is this all an illusion’ is a rhetorical question & you’re channeling parts of you that know this 🥺 I like the switch from no line breaks to line breaks. It honestly changed how the piece read & felt for me
