Coloring Book

Here I am again…
With a blank page staring at me 
and thoughts that I can no longer suppress
are Screaming in my mind
wanting to be expressed

the reason for my distress 
Is actually quite simple
Because My existence like air
and I’m slowly fading away
To a place that’s dark

Human Interaction is a strange thing 
because one second were on good terms 
and the next were strangers
I’m sick and tired of giving and giving
to those around me because 
whenever I run out of  stuff to give
or they had their full
they all disappear some leaving 
deeper scars than other

It’s really sad
I want to live my life to its fullest 
but I despise this kind of living
after being drained for so long
My life turned into a blank coloring book

Every time I start gaining color panel by panel
and I start feeling whole again
out of nowhere a storm appears 
And floods the streets of my consciousness 
Leaving nothing but blank sheet
because the paint I was defining myself with
wasn’t water proof
