I FEEL BLUE

I FEEL BLUE

Inside, I feel blue.
Do you feel it too?
Only sadness all around.
No happiness to be found.

Why do I always feel this same way?
Am I destined to forever pay
For others' misfortunes and deeds
That no one listens to or heeds.

I want to see other colors and shades.
And not just blue that eventually fades.
I want orange and green
And everything in-between.

My heart is feeling lighter.
The world is turning brighter.
Maybe the world revolving on its axis
Will make life easier than death and taxes.

NEW LIFE EMERGES

In the midst of darkness and despair,
life emerges.
Life is persistent.
It continues on despite
death and misfortune.
It can always be counted upon
to bring forth new light.
