Rebirth

The world is more than just black and white

This world has never been just black and white

Smoldering embers - crackle orange.

Failures caused by past transgressions

as tinder

Truth is, we as humans...

fall short into imperfection.

Afraid to crash and burn,

While all this time, its okay to submit

to those crimson colored flames.

Ignite your spirits and

Set your hearts ablaze!

Rise from the ashes of self doubt

And be the Phoenix you were meant

To be.

This world has never been just black and white

The weight can be overbearing;

how it consumes our very being.

Hues of grey become social norms.

Consider sentiment as colors.

Emotionless, actively choosing to be colorblind...

and I understand you.

Because when you've been

Dead and grey for so long…

All you want is a little color and warmth.

Is it wrong to want to feel again?

Ignite your spirits and

Set your hearts ablaze!

Rise from the ashes of self doubt

And be the Phoenix you were meant

To be.

This world has never been just black and white

This world is a cosmos combusting,

simultaneously clutching borealis blankets

leaving my eyes to hunger

for all gems adorned

by this world.

And it's beautiful.

But you have to embrace

Every color that graces your sky.

Ignite your spirits and

Set your hearts ablaze!
