The Monochrome Burden
Monochrome girl
With the black and white soul,
A neutral expression,
And eyes of coal.
She strikes you down
With her emotionless gaze,
And the mundane words
She colorlessly says.
But don’t think for a second
That she is free of pain,
For deep within her
Is an eternal rain.
She’d rather die
Than let you see her fall.
She carries the burden
Of feeling nothing at all.
