I don't feel good, but I don't feel bad
I don't feel empty, and I don't feel mad
I feel a little blue, but I'm not sad
I feel a little yellow, but I'm not glad

I kind of want to talk, but I cannot explain
My confused emotions and what's inside my brain
What I don't understand acts as a chain
That holds me down and brings me pain

I don't want to be touched, but I want to cuddle
I don't want sunshine, but I don't want puddles
My mind seems incomprehensibly muddled
And my mixed-up thoughts leave me befuddled

Falling in these lonely lands
where sorrow is known
I carried my heart in both hands
in fear of becoming a stone.

For bruises and scars
piled up my body,
that I wailed to the stars
hoping for a remedy.

Now I've become coy
in battles unseen
and how I wished joy
would finally stay with me.

O hear the pleas
of my troubled soul
I long to spread my wings
that darkness stole.

I fear pain will soon be my home
Living in lies
is where I shouldn’t roam
and the light in me silently cries

crying for the chance
of a happy life.

-a.g.

there are seven billion puzzles
on this third rotating planet
each one has their troubles
in this world that we inhabit

these seven billion mysteries
hold secrets left unshared
they all have their histories
but their futures make them scared

and these seven billion riddles
leave you speechless, without answers
with pieces missing from their middles
we're unconscious of their cancer

he pulled rainbows out of clouds when the skies were dark and grey,
he'd do this day after day,
as if to show her the beauty can show from underneath all the pain.
even though he couldn't make her pain wash away,
he could try to push it back so it would fade to a smile,
making her laugh for just a small while,

his job was to serve her,
and show her how to be happy,
even when happy days came by fewer and fewer for him,
he got up and did his best to make her happy,
pulling the rainbows out of his sorrows and showing her,
see, things aren't always as bad as it seems,
sometimes he wished someone could open their heart up,
and pull there rainbows out and show him how to be happy,
but no one did,

and each day he tried to make her smile,
as she smiled more he smiled less,
and her rainbows grew brighter though,
and his faded into the black and grey of the skies,
as if never to come back,
