lately I've been learning to be yellow,
or blue,
or just a pop of color in general,
and this is so very different from my blacks,
and grays,
the colors that I portray on most days,
people say I'm pessimistic,
and I know it's just a part of who I am,
that usually I'm the storm cloud on a sunny day,
and honestly that's okay,
but recently its gotten dark,
like too dark to see through,
and maybe my eyes just weren't meant to adjust to see you,
you - wearing your rose colored glasses,
I'm sorry I can't see the world the same way you do,
but I'm learning to be my own fucking rainbow,
even if it only starts with yellows and blues.
