Shades of Blue

Sun still down so am I 4:30 in the morning The SADNESS OF A CLOWN Playing songs in my mind Feeling like crying barely have tears I'm scared I'm missing out on life Searching skies for that silver lining I should be chasing my dreams Don't feel as if I'll take one more Platinum step on that concrete ground All I can write is the blues is all that I'm used to. I've been given clues to. I refused to be happy because I've Painted a portrait of myself in SHAdes of blue, I didn't measure By caution, didn't have to. I abused this mirror leaving it Half blue. Sadness forever Escaped me. The only time I felt Summer breeze was on a rainy day. Never did I see a rainbow come Out to play. A melody real Slow and long. I breathed a sigh of Relief My breath was strong as I watched the Sun appear from beneath the horizon I belonged somewhere that somewhere was here The brighter side of the rays. I belonged melodies Burst from me fully free of those shades of blue
