Is this poem good, I've been trying to refine my technique

Feedback Received!

I am the white, and the white is me

Whatever was and will be, is white as winter’s lies

My eyes are cascaded by a torrent of transparency

Silence rings in my ears like a gunshot

Its as if my eyes have gone deaf and my ears have failed to see

The black ink which drew in destiny, outlined reality, and stippled sorrow

Has been effaced from this canvas

When I washed away the ashes which charred the world

The charcoal which colored reality faded to blank

Like a zero sum

Like life beyond death

Like insurrection without a cause

Like bravery without recklessness

Im nothing

Nothing at all, nothing but white

In fact

I am the white, and the white is me…
