About faded joy and the longing for change in a colourless world.



All the colours have faded


All the colours have faded
Leaving me to feel so jaded
Everyone appears so fake
No joy for the soul to slake
I wonder here and there
Hoping to find something fair
A laugh or smile, not a smirk
To lift the darkness that lurks


All the colours are faded
Even you have become jaded
We no longer see the rainbow
Instead we watch from a window
We experience everything outwardly
Making us feel even more dastardly
The fog in our minds creates a haze
Our reality we live in a daze


All the colours have faded
Our hearts with coldness saddened
No light left for a glimpse of compassion
The world turns taught with tension
Each mind caught in its own prison
Our senses dead, cannot reflect like a prism
Each waiting for a catalyst event
For their lives to re-invent
