25 I write when I'm blue, I dance in yellow. Sometimes, I live a bright orange and other times, a dull grey but mostly, I find blue to be the warmest colour.
They say eyes are like mirrors, they show a reflection of the world in their perception. Change the perception and the world changes too. So let's start there.

Perception
Some people just wither away, like autumn leaves While some still have that spark of fire, like fiery embers Some never get to see the light at the end of the tunnel While some never realise, there is a tunnel Some are like winter, silent, aloof and withdrawn with curtains closed and socks on While some are like spring, Bright orange and full of life And then there are some, stuck in transition of life to death, colorless, disconnected and numb, Lost in the woods for eternity Trapped in a maze of unconsciousness Like comatose, they disappear into oblivion

Some people
I think it's okay to not be part of life, to not get caught up in the commotion of life cause in the end it won't matter. All of this, the buildings, the people, pubs, restaurants and all the life that surrounds it or the life that becomes because of it, seems like a stupid game and people get so caught up in that game because they want so desperately to be part of something and turn away from the fact that they know, in the end, it doesn't even matter. Life becomes what it is, in this process. And the only thing real in all this chaos, is love. Love for your mother, father, sister, whoever is important and special to you. That's the only thing that's not part of the game. That's the only thing that's real and that's why it's so **** terrifying.

Game of life
Nobody's born that way. It's the life you grow up in. The choices you were given without the liberty to make them The choices that were forced upon you The life you once thought nurtured you, grew around to betray you Tell me where's the liberty of choice? Liberty to taste freedom? Liberty to escape not just from anyone else but sometimes from yourself too? Liberty to escape without being called a coward, without being chased down by the terror you were escaping from. Tell me then, tell me your expectations from a person who carries the life that betrays her, Terror that fills her up with dread and fear Her survival at the stake of uncertainty While most of the days, She lives one day at a time Waking up at the cusp of night Contemplating what body she'll wake up in  tomorrow Her mind, foreign to herself Her much too familiar bed, a misfit against the markings on the wall The walls of her bedroom, which were once yellow, now a dull blue And this is just one of her many, many phases She bleeds in colours, Rarely red anymore She hopes for her favourite one But little did she know, the hope that almost flitted from her soul Like a bullet graze had left a wound that can never be healed or forgotten
