If the World is an Empty Canvas


if the world is an empty canvas
why have i been cursed with an empty hand?
was the brush seemingly too detrimental?
were the colours unnecessary?

if the world is an empty canvas
then shouldn't someone take charge already?
fill it up with colours and patterns that they like
and like history, force others to follow it?

if the world is an empty canvas
why am i being told that?
robert ryman is well off anyways
then, why bother?

if the world is an empty canvas
why does anything exist?
is emptiness the force that drives us?
or is the emptiness is what we are made of?

if the world is an empty canvas
and if i am meant to fill it

i would rather finish my homework
