Colour Breathes

Remind me how it feels
To walk on grass bare feet
To be pinched by its spikes
Smeared with its blood
Blood brown on my heels
When colour did not breathe
Brown on my heels
Remind me how it feels
To walk underneath the trees
To be showered by their breaths
When trees held only leaves
When trees did not watch me leave
When open sky did not threaten me
Nor the birds flying free
Remind me
Remind me what it was like to be free
When I only heard screams through my ears
