Though the day is bright,
I sit alone on the throne of midnight illusions,
cursed by dark imaginations.*
Pink and blue pastels fail to lighten my mood.
A feeble attempt at people watching;
a pastime that only feeds my paranoia.
The courtyard reeks of floral blooms;
Louis Vuitton and Chanel hang from elbows,
laughing ladies -
taunt me.
I flee into darkness.
