I am....

I am green today, I chirp with joy like a cricket song,
I am grey today, gloomy and damp like a morning fog,
I am orange today, loud and messy like finger paint on the wall
I am red today, hopping mad like a playground ball
I am black today, strong and tall a great big bear
I am purple today, bright and happy like a butterfly in the air

I’m a rainbow today, all the colors of the world
I’m a rainbow today, all the colors of the world are in me

I am yellow today, I shine my light out like the sun
I am White today, soft and quiet like new snow
I am Blue today, calm as glass and cool like the sea
I’m a rainbow today, all the colors of the world are in me
Colors, Kira Willey

I wish I could be simple like colors, but colors are never simple, you cannot simply name a color, there are too many shades and variables. I want to name my moods ands and be simple. I yearn for simple, but simple is the grave and I have not lived enough for that. My heart is breaking and my mind goes with it. Where do I put my finger when everything is floating and I have nowhere to place my finger and say here is where I am, this here is where I want to be. I do not own that talent. I cannot find my heart, I cannot find my place. Who will save me from myself?
