When The Sun Won’t Shine,

And You Can’t Find Your Smile…

When The Hurt Won’t Subside,

And There Is No Where To Hide…

When Your Soul Is Searching For Colors,

But You Only Find Blue,

In A Hard Reality,

When Your Covered In Lies,

Trying To Get The Naked Truth…

    Ooh, impactful. I like how you showed the quest to find love to begin with. Very nice!

  • I love that you allow us to fill in the ellipse for our own angst & downward-spiraling in this, Lonzo. Yet another entry to this challenge that cuts to the quick of my own struggles. Editorial Note: second to last line I believe should have "you're" rather than "your".
