Colors

I can’t wake up
My body has lost all feeling
A will of its own
My mind is useless

Into the white door
Spotted with black
Open the ivory handles
And step into the darkness

Nothing
Falling
Nothing
Falling

Splash into the bath of white
A baby seen in my eyes
Almond eyes with a face so distant
It seems so familiar
Why can’t I remember?

Again
Falling
Again
Nothing

Crash onto the bed of the earth
Family, friends, and familiar faces
Surround me with deep true smiles
My smile is even visible
Among the faces I’ve always held dear

Again
Falling
Again
Nothing

Fall onto the green grass
Gazing upon the peaceful skies
Nature at it’s best
Feels like there’s so much more
I could’ve done to change my fate

Again
Falling
Again
Nothing

Burn into the orange flames
Dancing waves of energy
Surround my body
Unending bursts of energy
Purge through my unconscious mind

Again
Falling
Again
Nothing

Plunge into the sea of blood
A face covered with anger
A face which holds the intention to kill
All I can see are broken bones
And scars that were ripped open

Again
Falling
Again
Nothing

Bathe in the yellow light of the sun
I feel warmth
The girl of my dreams
With dirty blonde hair
She puts me at ease

Again
Falling
Again
Nothing

Fall into the cool blue ocean
So peaceful and calming
All the while
Holding the hand of my beloved
Secure and trust mollify my soul

Again
Falling
Again
Nothing

Gaze upon the gray wall
Again smiling with aging lips
Don’t know why
But it has to do with that girl again
As long as I’m with her
I’m fine

Again
Falling
Again
Nothing

Falling
Nothing
Black
Pain
Lost
Death


The author's comments:
When I wrote this piece, I thought of every color in the world. Whether that color was blue which symbolized a calm feeling, or red which symbolized anger. I wanted to write a poem about how colors of certain objects can symbolize different emotions. I only spent about 30 minutes on the work, but I was very satisfied with it. By reading this, I hope people will notice the colors all around them more often.
