On the inside looking out
I’m on the inside looking
out, the world so full of colors on that side, but shades of gray and
black fill my world.
I wonder if I’m noticed on this side, or if it’s only the darkness that can be
seen? Can I feel a color? What color is a smile, a hug, or a kiss? On this side
those are things that don’t exist. I’m on the inside looking out, I can see
some sadness and even despair. Why could people in a world of color be unhappy?
Is there no hope in their world? What color is Hope? On this side hope is long
gone from most, and for those like me who hold on to hope we are consumed by
the darkness.
I’m on the inside looking out, searching for a way to bring color to my side.
Searching for hope on someone on the other side. A hope that spreads like a
rainbow into this world of darkness that I live in, that I may feel a hug. A
kiss, and a smile. That others may have hope again.
I’m on the inside looking out, for someone looking in!
