I Have No Idea Why (poem)

There is no gray
Only black and white
Only day or night
There is no in between.
There is no purple.
There is no green.
There are no colors at all.
Must keep up this wall
At all costs,
Lest all be lost.
There is no Santa Claus.
There is no Easter Bunny.
There is no Tooth Fairy.
Do you think that is funny?
There is no Cinderella.
There is no Prince.
There is no rescue
Ever since . . .
And there's no going back.
And there's no undoing.
There shall be no more
Unwinding or unglueing.
The pieces are all together.
Let them be as they are.
Each unique as a snowflake,
As solitary as a star.
We are an army of one.
The battle may be over,
But the war is not won.
Scars upon scars
That will never heal.
Scars you can't see.
Wounds you can't feel.
Build up a tower
That reaches the sky.
Don't let them in.
Don't let them see you cry.
I have no idea why.
