The blue surrounds me
Makes its way into my lungs
I cannot breathe
Does it care that it is slowly killing me?

The gray inhabits my mind
It masks my emotions
Should I care that it is slowly killing me?

The red covers my arms
It pools at my feet
I cannot feel
Has it kiiled me?

White is just a step away
It clears my brain
I feel alive
Have I come home?

The author's comments:
It was inspired by another person who was doing a report on the psychology of color. It came to me and I just gladly wrote it down. I am glad I did. It makes me think there may be something better out there, that maybe there is a heaven after all.
