These Days

Trans-happy.

Only the guilty mourn what could have been
because the past is a written story
where the hero loses his love to history
I only seem to care for the angels
that are not mine to save

I'm not so happy these days
so I try to spread what happiness I can
to those who deserve it

My days are devoid of colour
I used it all up to brighten my dreams
where someone will want me
Because in my blackest of days
no devil will show me a golden dawn

I'm not so happy these days
so I try to spread what happiness I can
so maybe I can feel the same

"My days are devoid of colour

My favorite line in this one.. Your poem is sad..
depression can be debilitating.. spreading happiness when you have little to share is noteworthy. Good poem my friend.. Smile... :)

''My days are devoid of colour''

Supposedly making others happy while you are miserable unburdens your soul. Though perhaps that is a lie just to get us humans to be good people. aha.

...such a beautiful expression, Elliott.

You paint the pretty pictures for us even if, you don't necessarily feel like doing so.
I think that is the recurring theme through this piece.
You say a lot without saying much at all - I enjoyed reading this. Thank you.

Wisdom in your words.

Lovely flow to this piece, fantastic job.

Very pretty. Has a light tone throughout the verses but it feels like they guard an emotion strong enough to break windows. Glad I stumbled upon this, it reflects much of how I've been feeling lately. Thank you for this.

I did not feel the light tone.. to me it felt heavy... powerful for sure.. xo
