the paint on the walls did this. the chipped red and pink smothered it's an old family home. you grew up thinking it's a safe color but that's because  you're used to it. you grew up thinking love meant to one up the other because they made you believe it. I know that pink is just red in a lighter shade but they're not the same. you deserved life to be softer. I hope you know , you're not a bad person and we can blame the paint in your old home The red and the blues got all smothered I hope I was sunshine yellow for a while, for you.
