Sitting on a swing

back and forth

up and down



Watching everything that happens around me


Only the swing is just a little too high



My legs float above the ground

I would prefer to stand with both feet on the ground



being one with the world

being one with everything that happens around me



I just have to grow a little bit

Everyone’s favorite actor
Putting on a happy face for the world
Fooling everyone, even themself
The crowd applauds, each act garnering more
But the play is just about over
The final act is about to begin
The facade falls, the actor revealed
Time is running out to fix up the act
Tick
Tock
Tick
Tock
Unable to fix the play, they skip to the end
Their Grand Finale

An apple a day,
Keep the doctors away
Your presence each day,
Keep my sorrows away.

Why do all colors have a description to them?

Red- For strength or anger
Yellow- For sunshine and happiness
Pink- For all girls
Blue- For the boys and for when you're sad
Black- For hate and fear
Purple- For luxury and ambition
Green- For nature and energy

We force people to be someone by giving them a label.
Should we do that to colors too?

Why should black be the evil one?
Why can't yellow be a way to express sadness?
Why is pink for girls?
Just why?
I wasn't so sure on posting this, but here it is. So yeah.
