The human soul is often depicted as a flame. The flickering that creates the light in our eyes and perhaps gives the universe colour. But what happens if the light breaks, distorting the colours and the human?
Life Colours Red for the anger That burns like fire. White for the fear You chose to hold dear. Orange for the bitterness Of wearing hard hits. Life's colours waft in and out As you weep, push and shout And your dreams fall away With each passing day. Fighting shadows Wherever you go.
