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!
