something sad

I'm tired of always writing something sad I too want to write something refreshing , something which is good So today when I picked up the pen I thought to paint the paper with happiness I chose the brightest colours and the pastel ones as well I started painting the picture the picture was of a child sitting in a garden, drowned in his books while listening the birds chirp the atmosphere was positive and the people there were pretty kind too And the music playing was divine and simply fine But once I finished the painting, it all turned black I tried to know where things went wrong and how the bright colours turned black and Full After some time, i again thought to paint But this time I took a crumbled paper and chose the dull colours Black , blue & grey ; perfect representatives of mopes And the picture , this time was of a child drowned in the books but to hide his sad looks and the people around didn't really cared , and the birds were weeping too This time when the painting finished , it didn't disappeared neither turned bright , like it did when the painting was of a good child - Celestial Verses
