The Color I see in Me

I am all the colors, you see.

To put me in that crayon box would confide me -

Because I am ALL the colors of that box.

I am the RED - the fiery passion that I have for my family and for what I love to do.

I am the ORANGE - radiating abundance and energy for the people and experiences that spark my soul.

I am the YELLOW - the LEO that roars within in and shines brighter than the sun.

I am the GREEN - the deep feeling, full heart chakra; the representation of the growth that always presides within in.

I am the BLUE - my calm soul sounding like crashing waves and bringing peace to the conflicted around me.

I am the PURPLE - I am a regal motherf-in QUEEN , and I am always incredibly grateful to the people in my circle that surround me that remind me and bring that out in me.

I am the BROWN - grounded with my feet in the dirt when my head is too far in the clouds and I've lost myself.

I am the BLACK - always diving deep in my shadows; always questioning, always overcoming.

I am the WHITE - the white angelic healing light that I'm always sending in love.

So, to make me pick ONE color-

well, that just can't be.

Because the color I see in you,

is the color I see in me.
