Color Blind

Green is my favorite color,

It's the color of the life on earth,

the color of the natural beauty everywhere.

 

I couldn't live without green,

I think you are my green,

I couldn't live without you if I tried.

 

I see green every time I look at you,

It washes over me giving me a new feeling,

it's just I don't know how to describe this feeling.

 

It's like I can't breathe without you,

but you're the reason I'm having a hard time breathing.

 

All you see when you look in the mirror is red,

the color of life and death,

the color that people bleed,

the color that reminds you of anger and loss,

everyone always warns me that you're red.

 

But I still see green,

sadly though I am colorblind.

  • CONVENIENCE

    I hate that I am only loved when you feel like it,

    like I'm lovable but only when there is nothing better,

    you miss me but you just miss having me as an option,

    you wish I was there but only when nobody else is free. 

  • I want to LIVE

    I want to live,

    I want to hear a million songs and dance in the rain,

    I want to kiss and make love,

    I want to see the world from every angle,

    meet people that I will love and ones I won't,
