I have totally failed to keep up with this challenge. I never intended to use photos for every color… I wanted to post all sorts of different things. But life has a way of jumping up and down so quickly and violently that I derailed. Crash.
This little comeback may last just the one day… today… because I couldn’t skip this color…
Color Your World… BLACK
Disclaimer for the poem:
I wrote this when I was in a very bad place. While this did come out of me and it is a place I do, unfortunately, visit now and then, I’m not completely there right now. It was just perfect for ‘black’…
black.
What do you do
When loneliness prevails?
When you know
You will never
Feel complete?
When you know
It doesn’t even matter
Because it’s too late for you?
What do you do
When you can’t leave
But you don’t want to stay?
When it hurts to fight
But you must go on?
When you question
Every single thing
You’ve ever wanted?
What do you do
When you feel like
You’re life’s a failure?
When you search and search
But can’t find light?
When all that’s left
Of your heart
Is cold black dust?
black hearts.

Heavens to Betsy! Glad you provided the disclaimer! You hit the nail on the head though. Fits black to the tee. 🖤

I was seriously not in a good place when I wrote that… and I wouldn’t post it then… I didn’t want to scare anyone…

I’m glad you pulled out of it. The poem is excellent though. Doing just a bit better I hope? At least January is over and February is short… 😏

I’m doing okay… Ups and downs… with life and with writing… and with everything else, too. It’s f-ing freezing today… I’m all set with this winter!

Okay is okay. Better than not okay. Yeah this is a sucky winter. All these wild temperature swings. It’s gone from 60 to 15 in the same week. Crazy. Days are getting longer at least!

Perfectly perfect for black. Tough, to read the words. But perfect, nonetheless. 😊😊

Yeah… you would not have wanted to be around me when I wrote that. I didn’t even want to be around me. But it happens…
And thank you. 🙂

Definitely black, and definitely good poetry. Heading away from black is great, for one thing you have to proceed through a few shades of grey, and you’ve done that in some recent posts. I hope to see you moving through the blues and towards the pastel colours soon.
Hugs.

I really dislike pastel colors…

I know, but you have to move through those to get to the vibrant red, blue, and yellow that you deserve!

Oh, I don’t like those either. I like black… grey… and other dark colors… 🙂

Thanks! It’s from this really beautiful sculpture garden not far from me. It was a long time ago… I don’t even know if that particular piece is still there!

I hope you’re in a better place today, and thank you for sharing yourself. It’s not an easy thing to do.

Thank you for being so kind. I’m in a better place. I wish I could say I’ll never go back to this “black” one but I can’t know for sure…
But thank you again… 🙂
