Escape

c o l o u r m e

Colour me patient,
because I try to keep calm so much,
that I feel like sometimes I fake it.

Colour me loyal,
because I can make you feel so majestic,
you would feel so elegant and royal.

Colour me distant,
because people try to reach out to me so much,
and I hate that they're so persistent.

Colour me silent,
because I listen so much more when I shut my mouth,
that it ticks so many people to be violent.

Colour me lonely,
because after being told that so many times,
I believe that is where I am meant to be.

Colour me broken,
because after everything I've been through,
the sense to feel anything has been frozen.

Colour me desperate,
because I long for someone,
to love and captivate.

Colour me doom,
because I do not believe that love will find me,
until the day I reach my tomb.

So,
To whoever finds me,
I say this.
When you find me,
I'll be scattered and shattered on the ground,
in a million pieces.

If you decide to fix me,
do not act surprised and alarmed,
when you find a blank canvas.

All you have to do is colour me,
so that I can be whoever you want,
till the day my time will pass.
