The Good; The Bad; and The Numb

May 31, 2016
By Anonymous

The Good;
Every day is a different shade of brightness
The birds are singing just for you
Flowers grow just to see your face
And all the smiles that you pass by;
They're real.
The Bad;
All different shades of blue,
Dark blue.
The rains falls,
Just like the tears on your soft red cheeks.
Clouds fill the sky,
Just like the thoughts in your head
Taking away every last bit of light.
The Numb;
Everything is black,
Dark, cold and colorless black.
You don't feel the happiness
But you don't feel the sadness.
An empty feeling fills your gut
As if you're already dead
With only the living around you.
