Monochrome Rainbow [✔️Completed]

MONOCHROME RAINBOW

Depression is a monochrome rainbow 

seven shades of sorrow 

stretched thin across the soul 

drained of vibrance 

washed out 

like the aftermath of rainfall 

each dark hue 

another weight 

pressing down on the heart 

It hides behind a smile 

stitched in porcelain 

a fragile mask 

worn for the comfort of others 

while dark clouds gather in silence 

underneath the surface 

pregnant with storms 

no one can see 

A sun painted black 

looming dreadfully overhead 

casting obsidian tendrils of false light 

radiating a cold burn 

a sickly heat devoid of warmth 

scorching painfully 

without flame 

Its shadows wrap around you 

trapping you in darkness 

an invisible cage of inky rays 

stealing your breath 

eating your happiness 

bleaching the brightness 

from every dream 

every memory 

every mirror 

every emotion and human experience 

It vaporizes your will to live 

slowly 

a gradual evaporation of meaning 

until you forget 

how the light ever felt 

love and hope withers 

like a tree stripped of its leaves 

in the dead of winter 

family and friends replaced 

pushed away by a demonic presence 

you never invited in 

but cannot kick out the door 

It can sap away everything 

debilitating and crippling you 

into a soulless husk 

until you're left 

with nothing 

but the outline 

of the person 

you were supposed to be 

lost in a lonely world 

without color
