Are You Blue?

What Color Are You?

Are you Blue?

Cold and sad

Or calm

And cool?

Collected even

Uniquely you.

Are you Red?

Full of rage,

Anger and hate?

Or are you sultry

Sexy?

Full of passion,

With so much love to give.

Are you Purple?

Royal

And true

Or are you aloof

And mysterious?

Does anyone even know

The real you?

Are you Green?

Envious and greedy

Or confident and strong?

Smart with money

Or maybe green

Has done you wrong?

Are you Orange?

Warm and full

Or hiding the pain

Behind your beautiful

Smile?

Are you Yellow?

Joyous and bright

Or are you starving

For the attention

You never thought you got.

Are you White?

And full of light?

Or are you Black

Hiding your mind

In the dark?

Are we merely

What other people see?

A kaleidoscope of colors?

A parade of stain?

You are a kaleidoscope of colors,

You are a parade of stain!

But we are more

Then the shades

They believe they perceive.

Let your hues shine!

You are bright

And you are bold.

You are Yellow and you are Orange.

You are Green and you are Blue.

You are Red and you are Purple.

You are Black and even White too.

You are Gold,

And you are Silver,

And all the metals in between!

You are more than an abundance of colors

My love.

You are a magnificent, magical being.
