All the Colours have Faded

All the colours have faded Leaving me to feel so jaded Everyone appears so fake No joy for the soul to slake I wonder here and there Hoping to find something fair A laugh or smile, not a smirk To lift the darkness that lurks All the colours are faded Even you have become jaded We no longer see the rainbow Instead we watch from a window We experience everything outwardly Making us feel even more dastardly The fog in our minds creates a haze Our reality we live in a daze All the colours have faded Our hearts with coldness saddened No light left for a glimpse of compassion The world turns taught with tension Each mind caught in its own prison Our senses dead, cannot reflect like a prism Each waiting for a catalyst event For their lives to re-invent By Cathrin Stuart
