Bewildered Lemon Juice
A poem about a girl and her colors.

I stand up, feeling the blood rush to my head
I look at myself- the mirror only reflecting my colors,
Black and White.
I sit at my desk and open my computer-
Knowing what I will create will never be seen,
I still made a fresh page-
Out of the corner of my eye,
I saw Green.
Color is new to me-
I feel my heart beat faster and my stomach flipping
I turn back to my blank page, waiting to be filled.
A new excitement in my mind.
I typed for hours, not knowing when to stop
A Brown bird chirped out my window-
Making me jump
A new color,
I look at the sky
Blue-
The grass,
The trees,
The cars,
All had a unique colors-
None where the same as the last.
I got up from my computer
and looked in the mirror-
Black and White.
My mind fogged over-
The excitement disappeared.
The feeling of seeing other than Black and White was amazing-
Except I won't be experiencing it once more.
I looked at myself in the mirror and only saw two emotions-
Disappointment and Hate.
I felt anger swell up inside me-
My heart was like a lava pit,
Bubbling with unknown anger.
I peered outside again and saw nothing-
There was no White.
Black.
Black.
Black.
I rubbed my eyes- only to be greeted with the darkness,
Of Black.
My anger disappeared
Now I just feared the Black-
It swallowed me whole,
Eating away my mind
And my body.
Soon I was also Black.
Nothing more, Nothing less.
I felt nothing and saw nothing,
I had no knowledge of the world beyond-
I had no thoughts- except for one.
Writing.
I had no clue what it meant.
I felt intrigued to do it,
So I made paper- the paper was White.
I made a pen- the pen was Yellow.
I made a desk and chair- they were brown.
I looked at the paper-
And started writing.
