Colorblind

I'm peeling an onion

That's hollow inside

The first layer is where 

The appearance resides 

What shows on the outside

The second layer shares

Thought through art and emotion unified 

Where feelings and color coincide 

The third layer bares

The brunt of despair inside 

Confides the pain that's applied

Contemplates suicide 

There is no core 

No layer deeper 

Maybe once before 

I was the keeper

Of confident kindness 

In a world colored with emotion 

I now live with colorblindness
