Another day. The alarm was going off at its usual seven thirthy, the bright grey numbers casting a blinding white light into your sleepy eyes. The thought of living through another day that looked exactly like the day before, and the day before that, and the day before that… never mind. No time for depressing thoughts. You quickly throw open the blinds as you get up. A cloudy grey sky greets you....
Life had always been so plain. I got to learn to read early only because I skipped learning my colors. I had to learn what traffic lights read only because I can’t see there neon colors.
I am colorblind.

Best of all, red is the color...
She wakes up opening her eyes to a familiar scene, her sweater draped over the chair, the desk a cluttered mess. As Sonya eases herself out of bed and starts to wake up something catches the corner of her eye in the window. It’s a flower but it has color?

It was another one of those nights. I was laying beneath the starry sky, just letting my thoughts wander. The white sky and black were beautiful, just as they were on any other night. But that was the problem. It was just like any other night. The stars stood against the whiteness, like grey dots, some bigger than others. I stretched my open palm towards the sky, as if I could touch it, if I only ...
Every day was the same as the last: wake up a minute before the alarm goes off, then the blasted alarm goes off before I can turn it off.
One protein bar for the road. Embrace traffic. Try not to flip off any people trying to move into new lanes with their blinkers off.
I enter the office just in time. Hank waves me over. “You know the drill.”
I nod drowsily. Everything is the same. The same pho...
It started out with a little bit of hatred
But I can’t seem to look away
A little bit of animosity
But I can’t seem to get away

With each mistake
I lost my grip
But no one knows
I lost control
It’s how it always goes
The color fades
With each mistake
I lost my grip
But no one knows
I lost control
In the monochrome
Left it with a
One kiss
Two kiss
Fuck you fist
Seeing the wor...
Everyday. All I see everyday.
Is the one shade, of solemn grey.
Sometimes I spot blacks and whites,
But it’s all the same, like flying kites.
Up up up, in the air they go
Then they come down, if the wind doesn’t blow
The only thing that’s hopeful in this displacement

Orange. I was eight when I saw it in sight.
It looked like a warm breeze, in the summer night
It was faint, ...
