The Rhythm of Straight Lines

Lines were made to be straight

 

The bent, broken, and curved lines stand out

 

The straight lines know themselves
And stay true to what they know

 

Colors are the enemy, broken lines have
No place with the straight

 

The straight lines are mocked for not exploring
Straight lines are surrounded by the color and the
Chaos that never quite fades

 

Straight lines have their own rhythm that they all know
And never forget

 

Some straight lines create a version of the rhythm
But still know their place in the world

 

They drift into color without realizing it

 

But lines were made to be straight


The author's comments:

I've always been a very meticulous person, and have gotten a lot of hate for it. I'm constantly being told to be more creative or more outgoing. This poem expresses that even plain, straight lines have rhythm and art.
