Did my silence provide you pure deafness?
Did it lead you to hear not the real thing?
All you ever thought this is pure nothingness
But I am really showing everything
 

Don’t ever think that I’m lacking passion
Just because I have a few words to say
I just don’t speak like the summer season
Sorry, I don’t fake words for you to stay
 

For these vibrancies, you shut our doors
And clearly forgot what is really right
Why do you have to add vibrant colors,
If you just simply need black and white?
 

We can love even without hyperbole
And it lasts longer when we  live simply

The author's comments:

Unfortunately, sincere feelings hidden in simple gestures are often neglected.

This is a poem I've written a long time ago.  I first posted this on my deviantart and instagram account and got positive reviews. Thus, I also want this to submitt it on this awesome magazine :)
