The world tilts
At this lack of color
Flowers wilt
And people can't even look at each other
The sight is dizzying
All the colors are draining
And fading
To grey
People only think in black and white
And nothing is okay
Nothing is alright
But now I'm wondering if it ever was
Because
Thinking back on the days
Signs of this has been showing in many ways
People haven't been smiling
Laughing
Interacting
I've been photographing
The days and the color is fading
In the pictures I've been taking
Just like it is in the world
And now I'm curled
In a ball
Trying to hide myself from it all
My head is in space
I'm covering my face
This sight is sickening
But I'm afraid this is only just the beginning
I can't stand the way the world is getting duller
I can't stand this lack of color
