UNPAINTED

Poem

I do not shout

to be seen.

I do not echo

just to belong.

I walk the backstreets,

not because I’m lost,

but because they’re mine.

I carry no label,

wave no flag,

follow no script.

My worth is not performance.

My peace is not for show.

They called me strange,

difficult,

too quiet to count.

But silence is where

I found myself whole.

I do not blend.

I burn—

gently,

steadily,

in colours not yet named.
