People see color.
I see color in emotions.
Where to start.
Colors mix and blend.
Let's start with blue.
I see blue when I am lonely and depressed.
With a touch of yellow for anger.
I guess it turns green.
Green for the envy I feel.
Envy....
The jealously for my 'friends'
who are off having fun,
without me.
Black and purple for loneliness.
Black for the void I live in.
Purple for the despair.
Loneliness and depression don't mix.
The next color that surrounds me is red
for the bloody broken heart
that beats inside my chest.
Black, green, and blue verbally abuse red everyday.
Yellow is the color I miss.
Representing my hope and happiness
it is the color I don't see in my future.
It is buried deep under the other colors.
The other colors bully yellow
and kick him when he's down.
It hides away from the others
and from myself.
All these colors
surround me
combining to make a Quasimodo mess.
Gray is the only color I know.
