Colours of Sadness
Try to explain colour to someone
who has been blind since birth.
You can tell them that yellow is the colour of lemons,
and green is the colour of the earth.
No matter how many times you explain
that blue is the colour of the sky,
they will never comprehend
those colours in their mind.
The sadness that I’m feeling
works much in the same way.
You can’t explain depression
to someone who’s only ever been okay.
