The White Dot

by Brittney Follett   Oct 4, 2007


I am just a single white dot
And my heart and soul scream.
Shouting at all the beautiful colors
But no one seems to see me.

What did I do to become... this.
Wishing I were blue, but I'm not
Or the hottest red, or light pink?
But I'm just a single white dot.

Trying to be perfect, still no cigar.
Ignored, alone, I'm so sad.
Why didn't anyone tell me
That being white was so bad?

I am invisible to everyone
Who would have thought
That it all would be like this.
I am just a stupid white dot.

Falling into the swirl of beauty
Laying there hopeless, trembling
Wishing for more than white.
"Please someone just see me..."

Despair hits me between the eyes.
In the middle, I am here to rot.
I am nothing more than just me.
Simply: a single tiny white dot.

Near the colors I start to fade
My senses begin to drawback
"I'm sorry, I can't be more."
The White falls into the black.

    The way that you relayed conformity in this poem is refreshing. You gave it a form and stayed constant throughout the poem. Good job

    Being a white dot is never really all that bad, unless the background your put up against is also white. then you become invisible to all that matters, the other colours outshine you, but the same thing can happen to any "dot" of any color - it all just depends on the background. Excellent work as always 5/5 GG23
