Whirlpool of Words
When it started at all, it started very small
A simple idea, a simple sigh
A single thought passing by
Colors form and start to fly . Like screeching birds that take to the sky.
Blues, reds, yellows, and greens
Born from life and hopes and dreams
Purples, whites, blacks, and gold
From fears, the future and what it beholds.
Silvers, oranges, and bright pastel hues
From loyalty, friendships, and the lives and ties that I choose.
Colors great, and colors small
Colors that may not even make any sense at all
Simple at first, but as time kept marching on
The chance to navigate through it got further gone.
The labels, the limits, the invisible gates
The standards that society so highly dictates
Everything in society demands one color, one action
Things and ideas seperated into groups by factions.
The storm's hard to tame, hard to control
Such a massive storm that's taken its toll
Damage was, and still is, taken against people and places
Causing discomfort from the looks on thier faces.
The world outside doesn't give much relief,
Half of the time it only gives grief.
The words and colors that smash and clash together
But there is an escape from the stormy weather
On a white square canvas, with no words of its own
A whirlpool like this can freely roam
The freedom to explore, create, and define
The unique worlds and characters within one's mind.
Through the chaos comes insperartion
The power to bring enough hope to a nation.
Turning chaos to order and destruction to beauty
Can't honestly think of a much better duty.
