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.
