Stop
being blind,
open your eyes,
and see.
We all seem to reside,
these days we lie,
more than believe.

Is everyone seeing right through you, is everyone acting so blunt?
Show everyone there's more to you,
and that reaction is all you want.

COLORLESS,
is the color of black and white,
its the color of dishonesty,
of being wrong and not right.
COLORLESS,
is the color of gray,
the sunset of being deemed false,
and the tiredness of the day.

There is no color here,
the pages of love are written dull,
the color has faded from vibrant to black,
empty, we lie without a soul.

The author's comments:
Believe it or not, a long time ago the company "Care Bears" came out with a movie where the Care Bears were trapped inside a world where everything was slowly turning gray, and everything was loosing color. It was up to all of the Care Bears to bring back the vibrant life the city once owned. I was inspired by this movie, because I feel that we are all slowly loosing our own, in a way of speaking "Moxie." And I am trying to show everyone that there is a more exciting side of life...so technically, I am a Care Bear, trying to save this "Colorless" world.
