grayscale

 By Edwin Sunil

i see the blinking light in the sky

and think to myself what if

it came crashing down.

i love someone but i never tell them,

god i hate how this feels and

i don’t smile much because im afraid

it’ll soon turn to a frown.

i never let myself enjoy life,

“don’t laugh too much or you’ll have to cry”

force myself to try new things

but leave them halfway, i bail

think of the worst scenario, “i’ll fail”

it hurts but inspite

i can’t help but turn things with pretty shades, black and white.

take the life out of things

“just let it go, inhale”

it’s not fun and maybe a problem

or i guess i just love the grayscale.

i’m edwin, and i'm the kind of person who will write a killer (depressing) song at 2AM and then forget to finish it. i don't write often but usually when i do its me randomly jotting down something that popped up. i feel most alive when i'm jamming with myself in my room.
