Tang
Sometimes days drag on
I look for solitude within the masses
trying to blend in, with the fishes
Unfortunately, too colorful.
Hues that dialate pupils upon peering
Even in darkness, simmering, Incandescent
Impossible to slumber.
Don't know much about myself
Look like everyone else.
We swim together, in all elements
We are inseparable.
With every new idea revealed
My colors fade
Alone in body, keen in mind
I forge through with lone eye.
Now see things in a new light
My light, look what i've made
From inside out AND outside in
Functional, in touch again.
It's not lost if one has it
Colors will never fade
'Just get buried and compounded
Underneath all the Gray.
