Synesthesia

The words I hear

Go in one ear

And out as vibrant colors

When you say my name

It’s quite a shame

You don’t see that candy red- but only something duller

Dresses are always dark deep blue

And castles are always pink

Ladders are always yellow

With a spec of orange, not so distinct

When I hear someone tell me no

A dark mud brown begins to show

The word yes evokes from my eyes

A yellow brighter than the sun and skies

Q, V, X, Y and Z

Look like quick sparks of electricity

And the name Vivian might just be

The most beautiful green I’ve ever seen

You may not understand what I see

But it’s always been so normal to me

I love these colors swirling in my mind

They always remind me I am one of a kind
