Beyond colors beyond hope I’m somewhere I may of forgot I use to celebrate the life I knew Embracing the moments of anew When days seemed to never end And the grass was soft and wet beneath my feet Everything seemed so vibrant and new When in mud puddles I could swim I tried to reach the clouds It never seemed so far away I danced with the moon underneath the stars Had no fear and no regrets Nothing seemed problematic what an easier time I didn't yet know the color of blood Running down my chest Scrambling onto my legs where it seemed to rest I dreamed of flying as my arms flapped at my sides With stick thin wings and so much fight In my mind I could fly I didn't know how to resist The wind kissing the curve of my youthful hips I collected flowers and dandelions were the best Not just a **** that nobody seemed to pick But a rose that was lovely with delicate petals Transformed into a life
