Black And White

I would rather you be

A contrast to my pale expectations,

Than to merge into

The lowest pit of my imagination.

 

I would rather for it

To be the absolute worst day,

For I only like things to fit

Into the right plates on my tray.

 

Destroy everything I thought was right,

It'll be the most beautiful destruction I've ever seen,

Open all the jars and throw away the lids,

Teach me how to love the scariest places I've ever been.

 

Cause I'd rather be proven wrong,

Than continue this stale truth,

My mind needs a reevaluation,

Before it sweeps away my drying youth.

 

And in a different track,

Runs this parallel train,

Vision focused on the rails,

To acknowledge a hello refrained.
