There are many colors
Many shades
Many meanings to be displayed
Black and white to gray
Red to blue to green
These colors all have meanings to me, you see?

Black is misunderstood
Black is dark
Black is not for the faint of heart
Sometimes you need to be tough
Black is able to show your scars

However, black is unique
Black is beautiful
Do you know how many wish could be this?
You can’t
It’s almost painful

White is heavenly
White is beautiful
Or so they say
All I have to say is...
White dress equals purity
Do you know what she did
Or am I in the minority?

Which gets me to gray
The mixture of the two
The color of depression
Gray is neither right nor wrong
But for some reason
It seems like it doesn’t belong

Red has multiple meanings
Red is love
Red is intense
Red is passion
Red is the color of our blood
Red is the color of lust
Red is a flirty lady in a dress
Waving at boys
While they fantasize of what to do to her...
As she flirtatiously posed

Blue is chill
Blue is happy
You would think blue would be sad
But really it’s the contrary
Look at the sky
The cool breeze
The warm sun
Tell me one reason why
You would think the contrary
Blue is a happy person
That can be irksome
Blue says in a cool way
“Everybody dies, but not everybody lives”

Green is the rich one
Green is powerful
Green is ambitious
Nobody likes green
Yet everybody wants to be green
Everybody has a price, Green says
He’s rich and always has success.
He parties a lot
But green has an identity crisis
Where would he be without his riches
The would will never guess.

There are many colors
With many shades
And Many meanings to be displayed
My questions are:
What color are you?
And can you relate?
I wrote this one day out of the blue.
