Colorblind

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.

  • Ink

    There is a different version of me that leaks out,

    dripping ink on these pages,

    hollow and raw,

    saying all my thoughts.

     

    A flow of words that may have never left my head,

  • Lenses

    We need more joy in this world, 

    we need less of this depressing sense of life, 

    when everything around us is so beautiful. 

     

    But we only look through a gray lens to see it. 

  • Rabbit hole

    I'm looking in the mirror,

    I don't match the picture on the screen,

    should I be sad or pleased?

     

    One click at a time,

    one more scroll,

    oops I fell down the rabbit hole.
