From the clicking keys to the blinking lights To the fading chorus of the folding blinds Lights blared, lights seemed to fade Screaming colors of black and blue, every shade Dreaming hues of yellow and white instantly laid Lying tints of red and pink have willingly swayed But the tinge of hatred, of bitterness still Are the ones that caused me to suddenly feel The yelling voices that continue to shout The screaming colors of black and blue made the sound
Changing patterns like interlocking ways Stilling the broken reds and blues, or so he says Fighting the tide of both orange and green Defying wishes all but lost its sheen Greedy tinge of beige and peach Loving hatred of who knows but each Lyrical nonsense of the screaming purple All but dead in the eyes of a noble Dying pain of all shades of white From white to dark, the sun sets despite
'Nonsense, nonsense,' they screamed All too well, I heard, and back I reared Fetching ways on how to stay quiet Watching the darting navy blue until sunset Mauve waves of yellow shine too deep Deeper than the love pink and orange has to give 'Nonsense, nonsense,' they fell Like waves of harsh vanilla white turned swell 'Nonsense, nonsense,' onward they go Marching, folding, eyes closed—because I said so
What do the screaming hues of bitterness and happiness mean? Why don't you close your eyes and see the darkness within Black and white, shone all but too bright Silence these shouting colors begging for light The darkness erupted, happiness is all but forgotten Hatred of blue and red, hateful and ill-driven 'Nonsense, nonsense,' your mind shuts down Close your eyes to sleep and hear the rushing sound Of the screaming colors of black and blue All but nowhere near to say 'I love you'

This was for an English task, again. This time, the topic is gerunds and we were supposed to pass something with examples of them. I wrote the first stanza and called it day.
Months later, I got the random idea to turn it into a longer poem and add it to my notebook of official poetry. When I first tried adding to it, I found it hard. In my mind, it's already finished (even though I don't know it means), and adding to it would only make it worse.
But I pushed through with it because I was bored enough at school. And you have this poem right here.
Still don't know what that means, though.
I tried making one of my classmates interpret it for me and they ended up confusing themselves too.
I'm gonna have to make you try it too. Comment below and help me decipher this poem because I have been asking myself for years.
