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
