My little cat

When everyone may see rainbows in the sky all I see is grey

I stare at the clock watching the minutes slowly painfully fade away

My counsellor umm and arr’s as if automatically on que

The medication leaves me empty and numb

I cry constantly when I realise what I have become a trembling reck People tell me I am being selfish but they can’t see it my way

When people see colours and opportunities all I see is grey

Sometime I want people to catch me when I  fall, sometimes I want to push them away

My tears could fill an ocean misery and dread

My little cat rescues me when she is on my bed The black dog is gone now and my curtains are open wide
