More Colours
I need you to cling to
whatever you can grab
it’s hard to see through
layers of weariness and anger
and despair
in an overflowing chest
and this noise in your head
keeps screaming in silence
I do see
your tender mind
unfolding
in every line you write
in blue, always so blue.
can’t change the ink
can’t change the pen
for you.
we’re so used to
that colour.
but there’s more
some stay shaded
some turn pure.
I promise you that.
