my colour

my colour

A Poem by Candace
"

this sounds emo, buts its how i felt once.

"

Where have all my bright colours gone?

I look everywhere i go

but i can't seem to find,

i put them around my shoulders

but they don't glow for me

the way they used to

what's the use of colour

if it's not real?

that must be as bad as wearing black

ahh the sea of black

walking down a city street

i used to stand out

in my glow,

my glow of colours

 but now,

even when i try

i can't seem to find that glow

that used to keep me different,

apart from all the rest,

but the same all at the same time

what happened to my colours?

i can't seem to find them anymore

i find glimpses every now and then

when i look back on my past

but then i turn around and look for more and even the ones i found seem to have gone.

i need something to remind me

of my colours

i know thery're still there,

but it's so easy to forget,

that smile will remind me, for now

but i'm afraid i'll forget,

forget all that colour

that gorgeous colour that was mine

but for now i forget 

how it feels,

how it looks,

how it glows.

i look back and see

but its only a picture

a picture

that doesn't scream the life that was there

i've forgotten what it's like

to be that alive

with colour streaming out of my viens.

this place and time is killing me

it's blocking all the colour out

how can i grow here when my colour is gone?

its gone.

where can i find it?

i'm sick of it silently streaming down my face

who is catching it while it falls?

who will catch me

when i fall?

i'm drowning in my colour

the stuff i left behind

i can't make it glow

why won't it glow for me?

it's dissapearing from my grasp

and i can't find it

nor buy it

i need help,

help from you

where are you?

where are you my colour?

Sorry ! Perhaps the loss of colour is , "loss of
Innocence."

You write very well, you have written an interesting
piece in which you make your point .

Please write more. You have an interesting and exciting
style and an excellent command of the language.
