To the strangers passing by, I am sunshine yellow.

The smile across my face 

exhibits happiness. 

My playful mood, 

exhibits humor. 

My tall posture,

exhibits confidence.


To the people close in my life, I am blank white. 

Through my happiness, 

I am constantly putting others before myself. 

Through my humor, 

I am exhibiting that I don’t like silence. 

Through my confidence, 

I am hiding the fact that I am anxious. 


Though I seem sunshine yellow to some, 

the ones who know me most can understand I feel blank white.
