Somber

My aura hugs me from behind

Because I can never truly provide

The love that can view my eyes

Through pink tinted glass

Lately I’ve been feeling blue

Cold and deep as the ocean

My energy goes through motions

But I’ve been running on E driving this somber car

The gas that pumps me is emotions

Black sludge dripping down my spectrum

Only pink premium gasoline

Redlining into the abyss

Darkness reigns my shadows

But I seek the white light

at the end of the tunnel

My only motivation to escape

Escape into a prism

Escape from this cold prison

My pink matter shatters

This grey mental block

What makes me want to stop

Is being in this somber mood

I just want to relax on an island

And eat colorful food

I want the yellow sun

To soak into my soul

And never be discriminated

For the pigment of my skin

It’s just a tan

But I’m glad you can see me

Smile with my pearly-white teeth

while the wind flows through my black hair

I want to live on green fields

While the blue sky watches over me

The blue birds sing

Till bronze bell rings

Settling down to end my day

Cotton candy clouds and orange sherbet skies

As lie on a lavender field to rest

A dream life come true is what’s best

Somber is only temporary

when the sun goes down

Starless skies and cherry wine

Is when I can cope

My only strive is when I can truly be I can truly be.
