Shattered

Seems like the whole world is turning to grey
All of the colors are fading so quickly away
Even in black and white, and anything you say
Doesn’t mean very much at all to me today

The rainbow from the light is bending away
The prism cracked and shattered with me today
Leaving me behind in a pale shade of grey
Wish there was something more pretty to say

Words were written on balloons that floated away
Even if the sun broke thru the clouds someway
Any light coming thru my shattered heart today
Will only leave me behind in a pale shade of grey

Wish there was something more for me to say
I would even get down on my knees and purely pray
Any light coming thru my shattered eyes today
I would only see shadows in a pale shade of grey

hi lisa. i meant to comment on"darkness" but this is a good one too. nowadays people stress importance on the unimportant and unimportance on what's really important. I've heard it said that those who matter don't judge and those who judge don't maTTER. SOME PEOPLE JUDGE ME ON MY FEELINGS OF A PAST LOVED. LET'S JUST CALL HER SALLY.PLEASE COMMENT ON MY STUFF IF POSSIBLE. OTHERWISE BE HAPPY, HEALTHY, AND MOST OF ALL ,WISE. BE WELL. DANIEL SCHACK.

Lee-chaane Sirchia · Works at Self-Employed Hi thank you for leaving such a kind and friendly message. I am a very down to earth free spirited person. Poetry is my the one thing that has always kept me going. Writing is my only outlet as i am not very good at sharing emotion or my feelings. I love life and laugh allot. I try my best to leave people in a better state then i found them :-) I would like to be your poetry soup friend :-) Tell me a bit more about yourself and what inspires you? Much love and good vibrations Vintage Sparrow

Your words drip with the sadness of tears. . . . When nothing brightens the clinging shadows of the heart. Grey is the color today but I pray that is may be transformed into joyful colors. Well written verses. 7
