colour me colourless

Colour me bad,
Colour me ugly;
Paint the shades around me,
In black and make them dirty.

Colour me a mask,
Colour me into a farce;
Change the hue and make it dull,
Making me a faint reflection of myself.

Colour me empty,
Colour me dry;
Fill me with all the colours’
Making me into a confused blot.

Colour me white,
And make me start again;
Or colour me black,
And hide me behind the scene.

Colour me the sea,
And take me to the horizon;
Or colour me the abyss,
Onto an infinite path.

Colour me a mountain,
Not to make me feel insignificant;
But to look at the world around turn colourless,
By pouring the rain over me,
By making me crystalline,
Making the pain within me just pure
That I can feel every inch of it.

Turn me into a new born and
Make me paint my own colors
Blue, grey, green or red,
But my colours that take me beyond the horizon
To start all over again.....
