blue tinted glasses in a rose-colored world

"sheer genius!
come see this!"
the girl played the violin

"we don't know why!
now and then we cry."
the boy was bent towards violence

"my child will rise,
a demon in disguise!"
he laughed in his playful way

"if angels could be on earth,
this one would have an angel's worth!"
she mended hearts and stopped decay

"look how high,
the change is nigh!"
he was older, but not much wiser

"I just don't see!
how could this be‽"
she wouldn't be getting any older, they told her

"we love you!"
he turned a blind eye

"we love you!"
she wouldn't let them cry



"Everybody knows, it sucks to grow up."


Tomorrow: With a word.
