White and Black

If I had to pick two colors that paint me

I would pick white

For the part of me that is still pure and innocent

For the part of me that want to believe

For the part of me that hopes of a better tomorrow

For the part of me that loves…

For the part of me that radiates happiness

Like the sun spreading its rays of joy

I would also pick black

To toast to the darkness in my soul

The rage I feel,

My spiritual black hole

For the part of me that wants to give up

For the part of me that is lost

For the part of me that is dead inside

For my heart encased in frost

I know that life cannot be lived in black and white

So, I would blend my crayons

To a compromising grey

With a tinge of happy and tinge of sad

To help me get through my day
