it’s funny how the colors of the world change as we grow up / when i was younger / things seemed so much brighter / like the sun was always shining on me & the grass was always greener on the other side / life felt like a yellow / a summer day with ice cream cones & laughter / a summer day that never ended / but now / things feel much less carefree /
the days are tinged with a blue haze / everything has a tinge of sadness / & it feels like the sunlight doesn’t quite reach me / sometimes i wonder if life will ever be as yellow as it was in my early teenage years / sometimes i find myself longing for the days when the world seemed simpler /when i knew exactly who i was & what i wanted from life / now / i feel like i’m lost in a haze of blues / struggling to find my way out into the sunshine /
is this what growing up means?
is leaving the yellows behind a necessary part of growing up?
or is there a way to find the yellows again / to make life a little less blue?
there are moments when i feel like nothing will ever be as bright as life was when i was sixteen / the blue seems to follow me / & the yellows are just out of my reach / it’s a hard thing to realize that maybe the blue is just a part of growing up / maybe it’s only nostalgia making me view my past in yellow / maybe life was always tinged with a touch of blue / & my young mind was just too naive to see it / but sometimes / when i look up & see the color of the summer sky & feel the warmth of the sun on my skin / i still dream of the yellows of my youth / it’s hard to say what the answer is / but one thing is for sure / my life is definitely not easy like it was when i was sixteen /
so i guess for now / i’ll stay in my blue haze / hoping that someday the sun will come back / maybe someday / the yellows will return / but for now / i’ll make my peace with the blues /
