All the Colours have Faded

All the colours have faded


All the colours have faded
Leaving me to feel so jaded
Everyone appears so fake
No joy for the soul to slake
I wonder here and there
Hoping to find something fair
A laugh or smile, not a smirk
To lift the darkness that lurks


All the colours are faded
Even you have become jaded
We no longer see the rainbow
Instead we watch from a window
We experience everything outwardly
Making us feel even more dastardly
The fog in our minds creates a haze
Our reality we live in a daze


All the colours have faded
Our hearts with coldness saddened
No light left for a glimpse of compassion
The world turns taught with tension
Each mind caught in its own prison
Our senses dead, cannot reflect like a prism
Each waiting for a catalyst event
For their lives to re-invent
