my favorite color as a kid was blue

my blue was inspiring

my blue was peaceful

my blue was love’s red

my favorite emotion as a kid was happiness

my happiness was shared

my happiness was always there

my favorite expression as a kid was laughter

my laughter was contagious

my laughter was genuine

my favorite color as a young adult is red

my red is overthinking

my red is frustration

my red is Picasso's blue

my favorite emotion as a young adult is hopelessness

my hopelessness is suppressed

my hopelessness never leaves

my favorite expression as a young adult is crying

my crying confounds

my crying is real


The author's comments:

Suddenly, my favorite color of my entire life changed, and it caused me to realize all the occurring changes within myself. Although as I read this poem again, I realize change is normal, no matter if negative or positive. I know that one day in the future, my favorite color will be blue again. It might also be red, and then a completely other color like green.

The image is one of Picasso's blue pieces, but I edited it to be closer to red.
