by Sarah Brown
I see the world in mute
colors
Dark and bold are only black and white
But I’d like to see many of the others
If I wasn’t this way, if I wasn’t right.
I’ve seen the world for many years
For two hundred I’ve been twelve
Yet no one has seen the frozen tears
I know- know them all too well.
I hide away, the sun too bright
For my skin to bear
But to find darkness in light
I’ve found it nowhere-
Only one person, one person only
Can know true of me
I’ve found that I trust him solely
With whatever there was to be.
I like him, le like me
We travel through this life
He proposed and I agreed
To forget the pain and strife.
