My Shades of Color
I am green
Inspired to grow, to reach beyond my limits
Like an emerald’s glow, I keep my balance by its soothing essence
My hidden desire
I am grey
My solitude
The feeling of emptiness I can never seem to hide from
Isolation
I am red
My passion
The warmth of hidden aggression, igniting my energy
The flame burning inside
I am blue
Like the endless sphere the clouds reside in, I am peaceful
Remnants of my childhood
The essence of my youth
I am yellow
The everlasting feeling of happiness, recollections of joy
Every laugh, every smile like a breath of spring air
Memories fade away
My mask of optimism
I am pink
Delicate as an orchid’s petal, sensitivity worn on my sleeve
My foremost vulnerability
My Achilles heel
I am violet
Energy and ambition
The drive of my creativity
My purpose for inspiration
My internal electricity
Most of all, I am orange
Misunderstood, unique, different
I cannot be favored, I never was
Like the glimpse of the early sun, my tangerine rays are too sour
Instead I embrace my shades of color
I remain orange
