Colors of My Mind

The colors of my mind
  Collide in conversation 
   But all I see
   Is black and white
   Thoughts so empty 
    That feeling should 
      Not be there 
        And yet I still shed tears 
       Unknown to myself why 
        Loss,love,hate,loneliness 
         Idled Truths of past reason
          False hope and gutless actions
           Limitless but not limited too
           Pain,sorrow,love, guilt

This is very beautiful. A lot of mixed emotion of different levels of pain. Very well written :) -AA

"Thoughts so empty That feeling should Not be there" Those three lines are there and will remain there forever for some of us. Life can certainly be cruel.

Love this poem. But i do recommend the first line to be same as title because it has better rhythm and makes it more introspective. The colors of my mind collide in conversation. That's just beautiful. Ima tattoo it. Great job!
