I am Lavender

I am lavender, through and through

A combo of tones from pink to blue

I am a soft dusty pink, tender and blushing

Strong and assured, never rushing

My pinks light my fire and give me direction

They are the undertones of my anxious complexion

Pink is the passion I carry within me

The love for my surroundings, and deep care for humanity

Shades of pink, just part of my flag

Never alone, never gone stag

Because I too am a light sky blue

I am blue as the daytime, not a cloud in the sky

Calm and collected, even when awry

My blues are inviting, welcoming to all

Where the birds come to soar, and to let our their call

Blue is my stillness, serene as a lake

A steady reminder to never be fake

They teach me grace when errors arise

And fill in the circles spotting my eyes

I am all of the pinks

I am all of the blues

But when they come together

Lavender is my true hue

Lavender - soft yet strong

Lavender - fierce yet welcoming

Lavender - neither man nor woman

Lavender - the person I am becoming
