White

Another repost from DA ( http://dindellathedefender.deviantart.com/art/White-Poem-398805100 ), so you guys can see it here.

I came here to give you strength,
But instead I sit here starving, exhausted, and freezing cold.
You’ve wished upon a black star and I wish I could save you,
But no bullet proof vest can save you from the bullet in your head.
No one can help you if you persist to satin yourself in white,
Staring down at your feet when you walk so you don’t have to look at the sun,
Bearing scars no one can see under clothing to keep out the cold
When the cold can’t be kept out because you’ve trapped it inside.
You’re too easy to stain even just walking outside.
I can’t bear to look at you.

Author's Note

I will almost never explain what my poetry means, since I don't want you to follow my meaning of it. The meaning is entirely up to you and I'd love to hear what your translation is, why it means something to you or why it doesn't. The more in-depth the better, but that doesn't mean you have to write something really long and depthy if you don't want to. I appreciate any and all reviews. <3

awesome. its like your trying to help some one who refuse to admit they need help. that's what I got from this."No one can help you if you persist to satin yourself in white" white represents purity, innocents and peace or tranquility.. but yet this person does not seem to really have this on the inside. awesome piece!
