Like a golden sun as riches,
They are gold and silver,
Without shining bright as diamond,
These goldness of the sun is the key,
For brightness of gold and silver.

Feeling the sun is so hot and gold,
Like a star in the blue sky,
Without so many stars,
As if it is the pure star in universe.

How could the sun be so brightful?
When there is more light outside,
With us to see more sunlight in
Our eyes.
The Sun is Still Gold and so are we.
Dad
When I was 14
I used to think
With your arms around me
I'd never sink

Then I was 16
And I disagreed
With most of what you said
But I let you take the lead

After I turned 18
I figured that
Your intentions were good
But yours wasn't my path

The little girl
That always turned to you
Had finally discovered
Not everything you said was true

And so we grow up
But we'll never grow apart
You might not always be there
But you were there at the start

Different opinions on different matters
But you're not always right
You've built walls around your mind
And that's why we often fight

When I was 14
You wouldn't let me go
And five years later
You still don't know

For me to take risks
I need to make my own decisions
Even if you don't agree with me
Even if you don't share my visions

How can I learn
If I'm under your wing
It's on my own
I should be flying

Now I'm 19
And I need to be free
And I love you, daddy,
But you need to let go of me

The loudest barking
usually comes from a cat
claiming he’s a dog
The color yellow splatters on the white porcelain.
The bristles flatten and slide down his cheeks as yellow lines replace tears that can't fall anymore.
The white walls cry and the yellow paint grows like Daisies.
The pedals fall, the white fades, and the beautiful yellow clumps like sand in water.

"And though I close my eyes I see La Vie En Roses" creeps from the record in the corner of the bathroom.
But he opens his eyes.
Yellow fills the tub and La Vie En Rose can't be true.

His hairs are matted down with yellow paint that grips his skin like concrete.
He dips his hands in the tub and smears the yellow paint into his skin.

The record scratches.

He exhales and paints drips from his nose and mouth.
The sound of paint dripping onto the floor from the tub haunts his heart.
He breathes in deep and sinks below the paint.

And for now everything is okay.

If he can forever remember the color yellow, he'll never cry again.

Her favorite color,

Yellow.
