Colour

I used to be a happy kid
Until the rain fell.

And as I walked through the alleyway,
I saw a shadow,
But why didn’t it have colour? I asked

Later that day, I laughed and screamed,
But something got to me.

I stood in the rain
With my rainbow umbrella.

Suddenly,
“Drip, Drip, Drip”

I could not laugh, I could not smile.

I started to fade
Then I turned grey,
And so did my umbrella
“What happened next?” you ask,
Well, I could not enjoy a thing.
