travels

Light

As I lay down at my bed

And drink in the last remnants of light

The splashes of color in this monochrome world

The various flaws and mistakes of the human beings,

And feel tears course down my pale cheeks,

And an insurmountable weight settling in my chest

I want to silently protest

Cry out with no sound

And wonder why some people were born to be happy

And some were born like me,

Doomed to forever hold sadness deep in the bones,

And sleep with endless pain.
