1Long, gray claws extend themselves over my head
Threatening to pull me in to their hungry trunks
These foreboding structures thirst for life
Something they can't grasp until these long months come to pass
The empathy I feel for them surely is unmatched by any other
I sigh and trudge on through the dirt-stained snow
My eyes are sick of the sight, something so beautiful desecrated
I heave my eyes upwards, only to be met by a gray sky
There seems to be no way of digging my way out of this pallid world any time soon
But, oh, how I yearn to see the green leaves poking out into this monochrome world
Little signs of life, maybe of a new beginning
I just need the change
My eyes unwillingly call for a blink
The best involuntary movement a girl could ask for
Suddenly I find myself in my bed, the shades drawn
The best reasoning behind it is not wanting to see the gray world anymore
A small crack reveals a glorious shade
Could it be green?
I find myself smiling, feeling life finally flow back into me
The world is finally green again
The words "The world is finally green…" come across my upturned lips
That are only half-hearted in their curvature
My heart knows the truth as I press my hand against the glass, admiring the outside world
I yearn so badly to be amongst it
Finally, my skies are blue, my grass is green
But all I will be able to do is look out the window
