Technicolor Monochrome Poem by Jade Howser

I'm living in a black and white monochrome world
A place where my own warm, rich blood isn't a beautiful red
My mind is black, my soul is white, my heart doesn't exist
In my head colors don't exist, surely I should be dead

My tears are gray, I only bleed black, I think there's something wrong
I can't see green, I can't see red, I think I've just gone blind
My life's a monochrome world with a technicolor dream
I can't believe this, I've finally lost my mind

The walls are taunting me, their monochrome patterns mocking me
The black and white Haven has turned into a nightmare
I must escape this wretched place, for there's no way to think
In the monochrome air, I dream technicolor, I dare

My wide eyes can only see the horrid black and white
Someone please save me, save me from this never-ending madness
I never knew happiness in this chaotic world
All I knew was insanity and sadness

The colors are non-existent, it's against the world's beliefs
I can't go on like this, it's tearing me apart
I need to escape this horrid place, I just need some relief
I need to see the pretty colors told to me from the heart

If only I could place the colors where they need to go
Red for blood, blue for tears, violet for the soul
Only one color would stay, the one for the fallen
Black for death, that's the best, if only I could know

I wake up from my sleep, and wonder filled my eyes
No monochrome walls, but violet and red everywhere
I now know happiness, I've overcame the madness
I can now breathe, with this lovely technicolor air
