i crush all of my thoughts-

i crush all of my thoughts-

seizing those fleeting-

and put them right back into me.

 

my arm looks like a mood ring.

 

green for envy

and blue for broken.

black and purple,

both pathetic.

yellow is yellow.

 

when my skin fades back

to it's dowdy, cloudy white,

i'll know

i'm numb

again.

 

no color, no feeling.
