Can you tell me what are colors
When all is dark as far as I can see?
Can you describe to me what are feelings
When every day and minute
Pass as cullers of my emotions
Leaving only their mark
All the shades of confusion
Amidst the searing pain?
Just because you can’t see scars
Doesn’t mean
I’m not all cut up inside,
Tearing at my insides
To get out of myself
Because the world
Is not just black and white
But all kinds of hues
Of malign and sinister,
Jumbling my thoughts
About what is or isn’t,
Blurring fact and fiction
In everything I learn,
And if I can’t find clarity
In the HD of reality,
And you can’t ever
For me construe or define
All that lacks definition and meaning,
This flowering happyguuurl
Will never fully unfurl…
