What Color is Despair
A poem, of sorts, by Susan Todd Martin
What color will you paint my soul?
What color will you paint my soul?
Blues and greens in endless dreams
What color will you paint my soul?
What color will you paint my life?
What color will you paint my life?
Blacks and reds of endless strife
What color will you paint my life?
What color will you paint my house?
What color will you paint my house?
Winter white where no one shouts
What color will you paint my house?
What color do you think I see?
What color do you think I see?
A space of clear that once was me
What color do you think I see?
What color should I paint my walls?
What color should I paint my walls?
A shade of pink when no one calls
What color should I paint my walls?
What color should I wear?
What color should I wear?
It don’t matter, no one’s there
What color should I wear?
Why should I even try?
Why should I even try?
Cause if I don’t I know I’ll die
Why should I even try…
