Black and white
Leave everything at black and white
Don’t add any color to brighten up the scenery
Call it for how you see, never recreate
Leave everything at black and white
Read it for how it is
The image should be loud and clear
Never be afraid to cut off loose ends
Protect your peace and mind
Pure love will soon intertwine
We are often desperate to give out second chances
But when you leave everything at black and white
You will not be deceived
The colors a color blind man can still see
There is always beauty in art
When something turns dark be sure to turn it away
They say black and white goes with everything
Yet I disagree
The dark energy you bring doesn’t not mix with me
You try to confuse me with your little white lies
What’s black & white and read all over?
The answer should’ve been life
Once you endure the pain that this life may bring
You’ll leave everything as it seems
You won’t try to recreate, you’ll call it for what it is
You’ll let it be
I wish someone would’ve told this to the 9 year old me..
