Black is the color of the night sky, when the stars fade away.
The sun a burning yellow, when summer's here to stay.
Ruby red roses, who's peddles are starting to fall.
Healthy green leaves, on a tree so fierce and tall.
Fluffy white clouds, making shapes in the sky.
In that rainbow I see purple, looking gorgeous way up high.
Soft brown soil, that I see below. The pink on the butterfly, I had to let go.
Colors are here as they are there, but what if you only saw grey, until someone special came along and colored up your day?

After so many breakups things just seem hopeless. I'm only in high school so trying is worthless.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
