Blue

Caitlyn Benedek

I dont like the color blue.

The color blue reminds me of you.

The color symbolizes sadness and loneliness its true;

And also vast seas and oceans of it too.

But you drown in oceans, just as you drown despair

I wish you'd cheer up, but you just do not care.

You lay on the floor, your head in your hands;

I try to help, but none of it lands.

Tears split the window, and same with your face

Not even a hug will help, at least in this case.

And in this very moment, is when I knew

That the only thing surrounding you was blue

I wish you could see all the yellow green and pink

Yet the more you scream and frail the further you sink

And the more that I comfort, the more I can see

That there cannot be all that air without sea

There cannot be a yellow without blue,

And there cannot be a me without you

So as happinness drifts in mysterious ways

You must know not to waste your precious days

Rather then sitting in puddles of blue,

Try swimming or splashing or surfboarding too

For there to be good, there has to be bad

And for there to be happy, there has to be sad

So appreciate the good, as well as the not

Becuase life doesnt slow down, and it does not stop

Be lucky to live, be lucky to feel

If everything was good, it just woulnt be real

So lift your head up, and stand up real tall

A tear down your cheek as another one falls

Youre surrounded in blue, but blue that is kind

Serene in its parts, gentle in mind

Water will recycle, and the ocean a new

For it was always just a more beautiful blue.
