Colors

By Nikhil

Rubbing my eyes, managing to open them half through.

Light above is dim, no where's the sign of time... what to do

If its dusk, then I should stay on the tree.

But if dawn, I must crawl 2 miles and reach the sea.

I don't feel pain as sensation in my legs is gone,

No one's looking so no one will judge me if I cry or moan.

Opened my eyes, didn't sleep this good in a while... liking this crack in the sound

Wanting to lean over to other side of bed, lost my balance and fell on ground.

Head hurts, the sky is crimson, so I close my eyes to wipe the red

Opening my eyes hoping to see a color of different shade

I laugh and cry at the same time

Pushed myself up against stone, some branches crack

The red is gone now the color I am gifted is all black
