The Color of Empty

By Annaliese Broce

By Annaliese BrocePublished 5 years ago 1 min read
Empty of color yet detailed with intricacies

Orange as the very first,

then green and purple too.

Burgundy and mint are

all colors that I knew.

Favorites I held in

my life with high regard.

Feeling bliss to look for

something of such reward.

But the time is now and

my favorites did fade.

Preferences I contain

yet no choice can be made.

As such is of my life

and choices I may choose.

Many options about,

but all feel I would lose.

A fresh canvas to start

again the life I chose.

Skip regrets and bound to

A place relief of woes.

Alas I am here where

Decisions glue me stuck.

The point of no returns;

exchanges out of stock.

My favorite color

empty; lost to the winds.

I am flailing about

like a fish without fins.

Annaliese Broce

Just a gal going through life a skip, hop, step, moonwalk, and twist at a time hoping for the best. Adventure is my hype but just the same is chilling. Seek knowledge for learning never stops.
