I see. But still, wouldn't imagining that 'the curtain was blue' was a symbol of depression by some people be a better fit in a poem? If I'm writing, say, a story about two characters each of which represent an unstoppable force and an immoveable object and they are fighting nearby a house with blue curtains and the symbol of unstoppable force sends the symbol of immoveable force into the house thereby destroying the curtain, why would anyone imagine that the curtains were a symbol of depression?

Not a renowned author, but I do write an AO3, and my English teacher actually reads my works and provides me feedback. And he does indeed read too deeply into it, taking out meaning from something I never meant to have a meaning at all.
