My Poetry

Colour

Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Fireworks light up the sky
Like a million colourful stars.
Each one quicker than the last.
Yellow, red, blue
All the colours I once knew.
But I cant enjoy this anymore
As each colour grows grey.
My ideal life slipping away.
Colours dont exist for me
Not anymore at least.
Years ago life was beautiful
An amazing thing.
But with all colour gone
I cant enjoy this anymore.

Treading lightly down a grey path
Somewhere I'm not meant to be.
I make it to my destination
A place above the sea.
There's a barrier in the way
That wont stop me.
Life is no longer enjoyable
Without its colours.
The sea is grey
The clouds are grey
Everything is grey!

One foot over
Then the next.
No one walks past
Or rushes up to me.
Life is not like the movies
There's no happy ending.
Colour doesn't suddenly show up.
So I take a deep breath,
Count to 3

And I step back into the sea.
