Divided Unity

Blue

do you remember early on

when we were thinking about your graduation

your SAT scores that might get you to Michigan

hoping you could go blue

and maybe by the time I got there

that I could be with you

you never thought much of my dreams

you're a pessimist after all

you can blame a lot on your trauma

but I share my own burden

and I never let that put me down

so what makes you so different

myna plumes and starling wings

bunny charms and other things

ornaments and kindred hoodies

promises of broken glass

you never believed in me

but I believed in Myself

when I looked at Myself

it was a different reflection

dreamers never die

until the alarm goes off and the sun comes up

you were the sun but you were always down

you were your own storm that even I couldn't purge

today you've disappeared from my list

perhaps by some glitch as it doesn't make sense

but at least now I don't have to see you when I scroll

and start being mad at the past of Myself

we both know that I can do things you could never do

and that I'll accomplish things you'll never get to

now I breathe the winter air

and I know that I've found myself

when my world is peace and the world is fair

that is when I've found my colors

if dreams are always so far away

then why are all of mine coming true

would you believe it if I told you

that I was accepted to Michigan's blue

knowing you I think you might laugh

because this has always been my dream

and my dreams from now on will always come true

because my dreams are no longer to be with you.
