So I'm colorblind, and when I was starting at a new school everybody was super freaked when they found out. People always point at things and ask what color it is... is this just me? Like this,
People: Ooh! You’re colorblind? What color is the sky?
Me: Blue.
People: What color is this paper?
Me: White.
People: You aren’t colorblind, why would you lie?
Me: I’m not lying, I am colorblind. I’m just not colorstupid.
But then there are sometimes...
People: Ok, what color is this peanut butter?
Me: ...
Me: Green..?
I find that i am tired
Of being tired
And that i am wishing
My wishes would come true
I am constantly praying
That my prayers will be heard
And that i am always writing
About the pain of words
Being with you
I felt human agin
But in that moment
There was foreign blood
Pumping in my veins
So I scream out
Feeling raw inside
“I deserve to be loved!”
And listen for the echo
To return from the empty
So it can remind me
That I am
Alone
Most think that beauty is easy to see, but that is only because they dont try and see it where is is hardest to view. It is easy to see beauty in a rainbow, in a model, or in art. The true test is trying to see beauty in other, less obvious things- a rainstorm, a funeral, a homeless man on the street. Beauty is everywhere, but it takes a strong person to see it, and that is what our world is lacking.
The world watched
As the moon wept
Silver tears
In remembrance
Of us
You make me strong. Not because you are my other half, but in fact because you were not. You broke my heart- you broke me- so I had no choice but to grow stronger. I had to make sure that nobody would ever hurt me again the way you did. You were my weakness, and now without you I am the best version of myself.
So yes, you make me strong. But it is only through your weakness that I had ever achieved it.
Everyone loves the fall, it seems
But nobody ever thinks
About the tragedy befalls
Every fallen leaf
Their blood has been sucked out of them
Like a vampire with it's prey
And their bodies tumble helplessly
Like rain on a chilly day
And that crunching noise you love so much
When you tread upon the leaves?
You're stomping on their skeletons
And crushing skulls beneath your feet.
Tonight lets dance
Like daffodils
In a hurricane
Beautiful, flying
Braving the gusts
Of wind
That threaten to tear us
Apart
There are many misconceptions regarding beauty. People think that it is only what is pleasing to the eye, however, they couldn't be more wrong.
Beauty is the good that leads us to truth, no matter what form it may take.
Am i a glass half emtpy
Or am i nearly full?
Or am i somehow
A shattered glass
Never to be filled at all
Without ambition one starts nothing. Without work one finishes nothing. The prize will not be sent to you. You have to win it.
