gray

shape shifting
blending in
conforming to hide with my surroundings
standing right in front of you
and yet completely out of sight
walking down the street
100% invisible
just how i like it

yellow

running
jumping
dancing to my own heart song
meeting new friends
going on adventures
skipping down the sidewalk
greeting flora and fauna
singing with the whistling wind
not noticing, not caring
wether people stare
i know no shame

A gap-toothed
grin—
maple syrup
skin,

and eyes
alight,
all blue and
white;

beyond the
grasp
of
prejudice,

your laugh is
truth—
I’ll follow
you.

Sitting in class
tired
everyone's talking
everyone's quiet

I don't feel anything
not nothing
my heart is empty

I could laugh
I could cry

or just die.
