My Colors
December 9, 2011
Morning wakens me, Bright, enthusiastic orange.
I Burst with life and energy,
Thirsting for attention,
Ready to face anything.
My joy radiates off of me
I try to make everyone I am with
Feel the Light.
But sometimes, I am calm,
A pale, chilly blue.
Tender and compassionate
Sometimes sad,
Reminiscent about things past,
Wishing I could always be bright, happy orange.
