I see green in my dreams Reflected in a sky the color of a mirror And you may argue Mirrors have no colors But I say they do They are any shade you wish to present them They hold the color of evidence And truth in their golden hues. "I see green in my dreams" I told my godfather Bargaining in his infinite wisdom He looks at me through eyes Heavy with age And tells me"I see you have learned to hope." "No" I say shocked "Its not right for a person to feel like they have to protect themselves from love Its not right To want to be invisible Just to escape future abandonment Its not right To hope against hope And suffocate your lungs with false truths Convincing enough To let yourself down Its not right To keep yourself from wanting big things Because "you don't deserve them" Its not right!" "Perhaps," i say getting ready to leave, "But I do them anyway."

I see green
I see green in my dreams Reflected in a sky the color of a mirror And you may argue Mirrors have no colors But I say they do They are any shade you wish to present them They hold the color of evidence And truth in their golden hues. "I see green in my dreams" I told my godfather Bargaining in his infinite wisdom He looks at me through eyes Heavy with age And tells me"I see you have learned to hope." "No" I say shocked "Its not right for a person to feel like they have to protect themselves from love Its not right To want to be invisible Just to escape future abandonment Its not right To hope against hope And suffocate your lungs with false truths Convincing enough To let yourself down Its not right To keep yourself from wanting big things Because "you don't deserve them" Its not right!" "Perhaps," i say getting ready to leave, "But I do them anyway."
