The ordinary heart is full of blemishes
Filthy, tainting an ever-aging world
Hurting one another
Carving wounds into resentment and rage

But for you, who are innocent and only know silence
For you, who are empty and only befriend black
Everything turns white
As white as snow, whose coldness only you can feel
As white as a bedtime story from your mother in childhood

Indeed,
You are truly extraordinary
More than just extraordinary
 

Your heart,
So benevolent and expansive
Though ceaselessly battered by jests and whispers full of hurt

Sometimes I cry
I cry out of shame
You are stronger than I am
Even though all you know is silence and black
Without color
Without sound

It's truly alright if heaven embraces you
This world is a dirty and cruel hue
Just sleep soundly with your restless dreams
That is why God created you
To remind those lost in the world's hues
To guide those who have strayed into greed and forgotten gratitude

Thank you
You are here to remind us
Colors are not always lovely
