i was yellow:
yellow is soft,
it is warm and sunny and it lights up summer days.
it melts snow and grows flowers from the earth's surface.
but no one likes yellow.
people like blue:
blue is elegant,
it is found in winter days and spring skies.
it is cool and refreshing and it sends a chill through your bones.
if you asked 12 people to pick between yellow and blue,
the majority would say blue.
i was yellow,
but i wanted to be blue so bad.
i mixed with blue and tried to become it.
i let it sink into my pores,
i jumped into deep ocean waves to be one with it.
but i just became green:
green is dewy blades of grass and lush gardens.
but it is not the color i crave.
so i mixed with red instead:
i smelled sweet roses in flower shops and i laid out on checkered crimson blankets under the clouds.
i soaked it all in,
but it wasn't enough.
it just made me orange:
orange is crispy leaves in fall and pumpkins on halloween.
i needed something else.
i blended and mixed with thousands of different shades,
i yearned to be that cooling color that everyone adored.
but then i met a rainbow.
and they told me that i was the sun and the stars,
i was the daffodils and everything that was bright.
i didn't need to be blue because i wasn't blue.
i was yellow.
and that was enough.

this is about how almost everyone loves the color blue, i'm pretty sure it's the most popular color like if you asked a group of people what their favorite color is the majority would say blue.
and personally my favorite color is yellow but if you asked a group of people maybe 1-5 would say yellow (that's kinda changed in recent years due to it becoming ~aesthetic~ but in the past y'know) so i kinda related it to how you're this one thing, yellow being the example, and you're beautiful and all these amazing things but everyone likes blue instead. and blue is great, but you're not blue you're yellow, that's just who you are. but you wanna be this thing that everyone likes, you wanna be blue, so you try to change yourself and become what everyone likes but you just end up this thing that you aren't until you're told that you're always going to be you and that is totally okay. idk, i just like the idea of it
