Here in this world
Full of secrets
Of black and white
I just don’t fit
Locked up  
Running on empty
Hiding my color
In a heart
Deep inside
Great light shines
Silent and yet invisible.

Through pain and sorrow
Space and time
Merely surviving
Learning to thrive
Unmistakably strong
Yet no motivation

Falling hard
Shattering me
Helping put back the pieces
Trying to forget
I’m made of broken parts
The lasting assurance
that beyond the fears
I’m not alone
Acquiring the thought that I am seen and loved
This I now know.
Picking myself back up
Knowing I must stay
But it is hard
In this dark reality
Of black and white
