all the colors slip away,
fading into shades of grey,
I wish I could just fade away,
like colors.
never really feeling right,
almost there, but never quite,
close my eyes, shut out the light
and colors.
nothing's ever what it seems,
the voices all drown out the screams,
all in my head, the rainbow dreams
of colors.

(To Dream In Color, 2001)
