Everything around me is so rich and pleasant, how?
Why am I experiencing all of this, only now?
This feeling in me, this is what I’ve been longing for.
I haven’t seen my heart glow like this, ever before.

I want to run. I want to explore. I want to see what life has in store.
This color gave my perception clarity and so much more.
All these closed doors, I want to break open.
All these desires and aspirations that went unspoken.

An incredible time passed by as quick as light,
but who knew agony would follow me while I was in flight.
What gave me intense elation, now spewed fear and trepidation.
The color turned on me casting a veil of anger and self-deprecation.

All this effort I put in was never warranted
I only wanted happiness but it absconded
So close yet so far, I’m back to square one,
I think I flew too close to the sun.
