I open my eyes but all I see is Black Blinding lack of bright color I Try to open my eyes but all I see is the darkness of the world I Want to see the blue blue sky I Want to see the pink of love The red of passion The green of jealousy The smile of friendship The selfless act of kindness I Want to see the beauty around my dark soul The cure to cancer and all the diseases that plague the dying world I Want to see the reason why their eyes light up their faces when mine Rain all over my cheeks I Want to believe in the stories told in books Where the last seven words go "And they all lived happily ever after" I want to see The simple eye contact of attraction I Want to see the reason why people grin at the world Want to see the colors of the rainbows but I'm blind to all the good things in life I'm blind to all that matters in life I Am blind to love Blind to hate Blind to all the feelings because I am Blind to the sun, blind to the night as they Blend together in a grey canvas of hope and despair, Of black and white Of presence and absence Of the reasons why the world is round And why we have no such thing as peace I Am blind to the kindness and the hatred I Am blind to the great big world As I live in my own universe I Am a simple galaxy Waiting for a black hole to finally absorb me in I Am a grey canvas And I wait.
