My People of Teal

by mookoo   Jan 12, 2005


In the dark,
On top of the pillows,
I dream of my own world,
Full of silver willows,
People walk with children,
Down the road I stare,
They wave,
I feel bare,
I feel the need to prove something,
Something unreal,
As I watch them walk by,
My people of teal,
The grass is purple,
The trees are blue,
Everything is mistaken,
Taking on a new hue,
I feel alone,
The only one white,
They point and stare,
At the ridiculous sight,
I feel ashamed,
Ashamed of who I am,
I feel like a mistake,
A problem,
Lamb in the chicken coop,
I am an outsider,
Even in my own world...
