Today I dreamt of a world in colour
Maybe we will no longer have to colour in a better world, but just wake up to one.
Today I dreamt of a world in colour
Where the ocean was blue
And deep enough to discover
That life could still breathe
On the other side
Even when mama said
It was greener on our side
Where the leaves had fallen
And sparkled on the surface
They’d laid to rest
In such a peaceful service
Served its purpose
Left with no purpose
Instead—
Left our water tainted brown
From camouflaged leaves
That faked our surface green
Where life was suffocating to breathe
What mama didn’t tell me was
Life was really greener on their side
We were tattooed lies
In hopes one day
We’d open our eyes
And instead—
Wake up to colour

One Hard Thing
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: You have the number, you know your schedule- you’ve even picked out the perfect day and time to make this appointment. Shoot, you’ve even picked out alternative days and times just in case their schedules can’t accommodate you!
