Colors Even if my life has no color, I will always paint yours in every shade because I know what it feels like to live without color. I know how broken a person becomes when nothing is ever painted for them. Ever since I was little, I could tell the difference between real and fake colors. I recognized fake smiles, felt their emptiness before anyone said a word. I understood what adults thought children were too young to notice. The strangest part is I always saw the lies. Every one of them. Now I’m almost twenty, and I still haven’t felt any color. Maybe I’m too broken. But how can someone who has felt nothing be this shattered?

Colors
Your pain is a well carved from your own burden — the deeper you dig, the louder the darkness learns your name. The hollows echo with every forgotten ache, in this chamber where young hopes are laid to rest too early, their graves watered with the salt of your tears. It stands before you like a frost-bitten statue, cold, unblinking, watching you slowly wane. And still, you taste the stain of yesterday’s mistakes — sins that cling to the tongue even after repentance has washed your hands clean. You are the last howl in the quiet, the final cry your heart releases when the world refuses to hear what breaks you. Yet where the rain falls — whether in gentle drops or merciless storms, let your soul loosen its grip, unfold its fist, and allow the sky to wash what you’ve carried too long. Because even pain learns to loosen its grip when you finally choose to loosen yours.

Where the Rain Knows Your Name
I'm tied down and locked in a box Held and bounded by powerful locks. I still move around peacefully and freely I still live and act me Everyone else is locked in this 'box' They are tied down and held by locks But we still see them live each year We still see them happy and smiling each day We are all trapped but we don't even know it We feel lonely but never show it. Refusing that you're trapped in this 'box' Only doubles and strengthens its locks

The Box
She said she hated it when her husband said you are so **** She said she hated it when her husband gave compliments on her physical body And I saw tears on her eyes as she pouring her heart out to me And i know she really meant it... And i wonder how much pain this woman carries inside Her inner wounds, her bleeding scars waiting to arise Out of the quiet surface showing to public How chaos and messy her entire world would be when she felt into this stage of self-destructive And i know everybody has their own fight We all struggle one way or another in our life But i do feel so much sadness hearing her said "I wished i wouldn't be pretty so that nightmare didn't happen to me" And i wanted to tell her so much that Her beauty wasn't the root Of that ugly tragedy happened in her younger dates Though i know how far she has gone On her path of healing this intensively painful past i would still want to tell her that Denial does not work As right now she is denying This particular compliment her husband wanna give To a woman he sees as the only beauty on this earth And i would still want to tell her Even though he doesn't give The kind of compliment she prefers to receive This is somehow, a kind of therapy she needs to practice To acknowledge her own beauty physically, emotionally as she is And to learn how to receive compliments The real one, regardless of the forms they come in place since people giving compliment might not be good at warping gifts But in the end, its the love they want her to get love to heal to console to strengthen to make change those deepest unseen wounds she is carrying around along her journey on this planet...

For the suffering she
