Kaleidoscope

November 2, 2013

Since the beginning of my mind

I saw with eyes that were not mine

I walked with legs that I couldn’t lift

And the air I breathed, was drenched in greed

I swallowed thoughts that other ditched

Science, beliefs, and long gone creeds

In black and white they got me dyed

But I ran away, I survived

Throwing up what they made me eat

I cleaned myself from hate and greed

And from colors without a shine

I changed to green, feeling alive

And in green I stood for a long time

Until I met those, dyed, in rainbow lime

Glimmering and dazzling, indeed they could shine

But they were not real so I left them behind

I walked fast, slow, and sometimes I even ran

Till I reached a place with nothing behind

I took that leap, entering a non-existent time

Everything was there, I got confused…

…I smiled. I could breathe for the first time!
