Black & white

 In a pocket full of lies
She picked out black from white
She wore her frown upside down
And her shoes inside out. 
She saw the colours in the void
And filled them with spaces of blame
And when she closed her eyes, it was all still the same. 
The brightness was magnified, but the darkness was too
And when it wore out, then it would all be for me and you. 
She saw something no one did,
Was hope really that wrong?
In the words that followed
She wrote her own song. 
Maybe it was more than that,
Maybe she just couldn’t see
But how was she supposed to understand? 
In a world full of yellow, red and blue,
And a million other in her sight,
All she saw was black and white.
