THIS IS MY COLOR

My color is green as envy,

Green for health,

Green for wealth

The green of life.

I am alive.

I feel every emotion

With every bodily motion,

 I know I live.

Every breath I take is confirmation that I am human.

Every time I blink,

Each time I think,

I celebrate my existence.

My color is blue,

Blue as water,

Blue as calm.

I yearn to be refreshed with food for the soul,

To quench my thirst for knowledge

With intellectual conversations or challenging confrontations.

Steadfast and firm

Light and calm

Blue is my color.

Sometimes I am yellow

Cheerful and happy

Bright

Warm

Loud

Yellow as sunshine.

Purple is my color

A sign of nobility and spirituality.

Unique in my own way,

Proud of my individuality

I respect the Supreme authority;

The Lord Almighty.

I am His and because of this, I am part of a royal blood line.

Purple as mysterious,

Never too close,

I keep my distance

A stranger to the closest of my friends,

I am purple.

Black is my skin,

Inconsistent yet beautiful,

Black as darkness,

Black as night.

Contrary to popular belief,

My black is not evil,

My black is flawless,

My black is African

Strong

Bold

Courageous and playfully rebellious.

I am black.

I am not defined by a rainbow

Directed by a skillful composition of colors

My color is chaotic.

A mix of dangerous red,

Girly  pink,

Tranquil turquoise,

Earth  brown,

Fierce orange.

My color is complex,

Complicated,

Misunderstood.

This is my color.
