I’m Green.
I’m filled with life and hope,
I have many friends, small and large.
A beautiful place to call home,
Colors of plenty,
And drink to satisfy.
My sky is as healthy as can be,
It holds everything for me,
Stars, clouds, birds and more.
I’m blessed when I cry,
I’m glad for the snow,
I enjoy four meals each year,
I couldn’t ask for a better life.
I’m Grey.
I’m dying,
All my friends have either died or soon will.
I’m ugly, gross, a paradise lost;
I’m grey, only grey.
I’m thirsty, so fucking thirsty,
There’s almost no air left for me to breath,
I’m gasping at what little is left.
I still see the stars, but I don’t care for them.
I’m so numb, so empty,
I’d give anything to feel the cold again,
I hate the hot sun, its all I feel.
I wish I could die faster.
