The blue
It holds her
It keeps her sane
For moments at a time
Then the gray takes over
Swimming through the pain
Some days she's yellow
Numb and content
Other days she's screaming
Through the blue
Where no one
Can
Hear

This was great, although I do feel that you could have elaborated more on the idea. Colors of the mind is a brilliant idea, and you could do so much with it. For example, you can maybe say red is anger, and that her mind is swimming with it? If you want. For what it is now, I think it's great, but could be awesome. Please read, rate, and comment on my poems! Thanks!
