For a long time I wanted to be yellow
I tried to become it
I tried to become sunshine
The light in the room
But I always had trouble connecting with people
I could never find my complimentary colour
All of the violets in my life passed me by with unwavering indifference
And the reason for this is simply because I was never yellow
As beautiful and bright as they are
Their shades never belonged to me
I’m more of a light pink
Sensitive and soft, inquisitive
And it’s okay if some colours don’t compliment me
Because I finally found one that does
My complimentary colour
If the light hits just right
Specks of green flash in his eyes
About the Creator
Off the beaten path
Do you remember being a child? There wasn’t a care in the world. There was no future in sight except for the next adventure you and your friends would partake in, the next doll you would pick up to play with. Do you remember thinking about anything else in those moments of innocence? You probably answered no. The only thoughts in your head were regarding the task at hand. Picking the trendiest outfit for Barbie, climbing to the highest branch of a bottlebrush tree-deeming yourself the queen or king, running as fast as you could in a game of tag-your only goal in life at that moment was to tag your opponent. What if there was a way to get back to that sense of child-like wonder? To avoid letting the weight of the future hook its claws into you. What if I told you this was possible? Now all you have to do is forget about your goals. Okay, not really. If you want that careless happiness back that you had when you were a child, all you have to do is avoid allowing your goals to control you. Don’t worry, it’s easier than it sounds.
