Poem: Under the Moonlight
A poem from Leaving the Monochrome, available now for pre-order.
Under the Moonlight
Tonight, there are no stars, only moonlight
As I walk, stepping between trucks and cars.
Gray takes the city, and my mind’s insight–
Ridden by conflict, chained by little bars.Tonight, my destination holds no aim,
As I walk, traveling through my inside.
No clouds above, they’re all in my claim–
Clarity-blocked, no room to decide.Tonight, I find a bench, somewhere to sit.
As I rest, thoughts attempt to clear out.
Maybe it’s okay to process a bit–
To allow room to break this mental drought.Becoming closer to who I should be,
Even if monochrome is all I see.
Leaving the Monochrome is a collection of twenty poems focused on mental health, grief, and struggling to find color in one’s life. This poetry compilation will take you through Hazel Allen’s head— and the endless journey they’ve embarked on to try and leave the gray, black, and white.
