grey

by emma-*gemini* - Not entered

surrounded in a world of color
i see only black and white
there are flowers and trees
in all sorts of colors
but i just see shades of grey
i know somehow, that i am surrounded in beauty
but its just not what it should be in my eyes
i don't see what i should see
the bursts of pink and yellow
should penetrate this grey that i see
the green should be bright and plentiful
i'm moving like the snail on the planter-
slowly spiraling down
the beautiful music strains in the background
but all i hear is sadness
people all around are laughing
and it makes me jealous
how dare they be so happy 
when i'm so down? 
how come they see the beauty,
the palette of color that surrounds them,
when all i see is another shade of grey?

Reason for writing:

    sitting in a beautiful garden, when i was depressed.  e-mail me if you'd like
