My heart is full of others' sorrow
A sponge, if squeezed, driples their blood not mine
Flashbacks of memories black and white very abominable
Smiles and laughs echo in all shades of blue
A blue that overwhelmed the rainbow
Beaches and malls that were always overcrowded and eerie
A mother putting herself under to raise her cubs
On top of a hill where she trusted was hope
If I could chop my heart into equal pieces to fill the emptiness in their chests to be whole again
Building a castle of ice cubes with false sweat
Left us to sink with no lifejackets
Confused and wandering between these broad brackets
A meaningless sentence on a billboard on a highway
No punctuation scattered all over in a disarray
All my suffering is forgotten when I see their agony
Their blacks and whites emerging to make my grey
