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.

  • Whispers of a home

    I hear the tick of a clock letting me know every second I am wasting as I scroll through my phone,

    the slide of my finger against the screen,

    the tap of my thumb as I message someone back,

    artificial noise.

     

  • A child in Spring

    Some where there is a child jumping in new puddles,

    playing in the soft mud of the Earth,

    full of joy.

     

    Some where a child picks springs new dandelions,

    blowing on the fluffy seeds to make wishes.

  • A letter to ICE

    Pledge your life to liberty and justice,

    raise your hand and take an oath to serve and protect,

    who are you protecting though?

     

    I watch the news and see agents hurting the innocent,

    children,
