Black
And white
...
Wow
I understand
Why you would feel that way
Of us all
But look a little closer
My circus is in my head
In my dreams
Sure
It can be black as night with a few white but menacing fluffy clouds
Floating around
It seems like all is lost
There is a pit in your stomach
And your tears
Feel like coming out
Your throat
But then...
The stars start shining
You look up in wonder
And awe
They dot the black night sky by billions
Shining so bright
They defy the dark
You just sit there
Watching
Wondering
Could I ever shine as bright
And as confident
As them?
My circus
Isn't exactly a circus
It's a Dreamscape
It expands far and wide
Infinitely
It's full of sweet dreams
Dark nightmares
And even a few unforgettable heart wrenching in-betweens
I feel my heart stop
When I see my friends stab my chest
And scrape my legs
The red blood oozing out
Red
I run
Searching for cover
As I desperately try to avoid getting hit by the oranges falling from the sky
Orange
I squint through the sun's rays
As a powerful force sweeps me toward it
Yellow
I fall back
Laying in the soft comfortable green grass
And smile at the tree standing by
Green
I dive into the deep blue sea
And shiver at the ice-cold sensation that threatens to give me hypothermia
Swimming away from the pack of piranhas that spotted my munchy meat
Blue
I feel an adrenaline rush
As I stare at the gigantic purple dragon in front of me
Is it friend
Or foe?
Purple
The sun sets as the sky gets stained pink
Along with others
Pink
I run and jump
Dodge and swipe
Engaging in battle with my fierce enemy
Aryaw
My doppelgänger with my name backwards
...Myself
I'm fighting myself
I have a lucky and beautiful life
But it's not all fun and games
I have had to fight many seemingly never-ending battles
I'm lucky I have not yet sliced my enemies' throats
With my trusty magical sword
The very thought
Of having to kill
Makes my very soul tremble
So I don't
But don't assume my circus is black and white
Or that I even have a circus
Because... You might find a surprise
