Jade from Obsidian by VEL

Where is the green in all that grey?
It turned to brown and faded away.
The nights get longer with every day
And all the leaves are bitten, I’m afraid.

Everyone hides inside their house
And all the birds have moved to south.
But I will stay here and won’t come out
Until the flowers begin to sprout.
From the treetops I can see further.
It’s a rush of chlorophyll.
But actually I won’t feel better
Cause the colors are so shrill.

I am hiding my own feelings
Cause I’m ashamed for what I think.
Now I’m staring at the ceiling
And it feels like I would sink.

All I see just disappoints me
While the rest is so in love.
I’m too dumb to simply feel free.
I’m too stern I cannot laugh.

Maybe I’m the bigger problem
And everything is just okay.
But inside my head there’s something bad
And I’m just in my way.

Sunlight awakens all the life.
But I’m so tired that I’d rather die.

Where is the grey in all that green.
It’s all so pied that I could scream.
I want it white like in my dreams.
I want it back like it has been.
