Colors

The colors have changed for me
 What once was dark, now is light
 Sickly teal in place of soothing blue
 My room is now white
 Plain white
 Instead of the patchwork of pictures
 The people are different too
 They used to be my family
 Now they're all strangers
 Dressing in those dorky nurse clothes
The most depressing thing is that
 I can't even have my shoes
 Heh
 No shoes
 No jewelry either
 It's the little things that get to you here
 Like having no shoes
 And the food
 It's hospital food
 Which is awful, except for breakfast
 And that's always grits
 Eggs
 Bacon
 And toast
 I miss my computer
 And I miss my privacy
 I sigh as I look out the mesh-covered window
 I hate how my colors have changed
