Technicolor
Greyscale skies are met with black clouds raining upon us.
Brown fields hold no creatures.
There’s nothing here.
It's blank
empty
a world of cardboard figures in a shoebox
a single stiff breeze could tear us away
It's so cold.
I'm so cold.
Leaning against frigid concrete, I close my eyes.
Should I remain here?
Waiting for the warm kiss of a life gone by?
No.
I can make my own color now.
Swallowing my despair, I grab my own hand
and lead myself into a land of my own creation.
a land of color.
of light.
A land within shining lavender walls
picture-perfect corridors
a life cushioned in the magenta of tulips
and the blue of the sky.
It’s perfect.
And I can rule here forever.
Forever doesn’t last.
