two coats please

if this room gets painted
a brighter color,
she says, then
life will be better.
it will change everything.
this gallon of paint
will embolden me to move on.
yesterday won't matter
anymore with these old
walls brightened.
fix me, the label says.
fix me white and make
the world right again.
two coats please, 
i don't want the past
to bleed through.
