Everyone seems so busy
Some more projects, personal or assigned
I feel much less busy
I should probably work, but I have time
What happens when I try to be lighthearted and fail

My mind is a blank page
Well, not blank
More like a brainstorm sheet
Things I tried to erase, but the imprint will stay there
Memories of when I didn’t think I was good enough
I may not be bleeding but the scar still remains.

Get up on your feet
Brush off those shoulders and bandage your bruised and ****** knees
Clean off your face and cut your hair
Your smile is a mask to pretend that you care

Everyone knows those jokes
'I want it black like my soul'
'I am so dead inside'
They seem so common nowadays
But I've heard so many from you
Seen the hidden tears through the years
That sometimes I wonder if they're jokes anymore

A year ago I wrote a note
I apologized for everything I had done
A year ago my headphones were my fortress
My scissors were my battle weapon
A year ago I lied
I said I was fine
A year ago I stepped down from that chair
Put away that knife
Walked away from that life

I'm still not sure if I'm brave or a coward
But I'm glad I didn't leave them behind

Some people hate children
They seem too loud and too sensitive
Others have talents
They still have enough childish feeling left in them to identify
To find what they are feeling in their hearts
And voice the opposite

Color and sound are far too similar,
They never come without the other.
Instruments, voices, names, notes.
Concerts are entire light shows.
The lime of horns, the flash of drums and whistles,
Entire fireworks shows all at once.
I have always hated fireworks shows.
Voices are strong too.
In noisy corridors where everyone yells, I see brown.
Mud or dried blood color clutters my mind.
I call it ‘brown noise’.
Nobody else understands.
I don’t blame them.
And then there's you.
A baby blue name, a rosy coral voice.
Others have names of sharp yellow or brooding teal.
It differs.
