COLORS

In the past, I chose not to allow them to color my world

The shades of dark purple and deep browns cause shade to the sun

In my heart, it is tender and full of bright yellows and brilliant reds

Looking back on those moments I found I was not correct

Looking back I realized I was wrong

My sensitivity and tender heart never grew

I hid from that which caused hurt

I ran from that which would cause my growth

The dark shades of purple and the deep browns were ultimately

Necessary to my growth

Sadly, the deep colors I had put off for far too long

Came in heavy and the pain of accepting them brought tears

But something strange happened

My tears washed the purples and browns and mixed them

With the brilliant reds and bright yellows

And the painting of my life filled with definition and deep understanding.
