Poems
Jun 2018
oil paints on canvas, 2018
my skin is blue with depression
my breaths are yellow with anxiety
i bleed red from anger
and my heart is grey with apathy
i love in chocolate browns
i hurt in deep maroons
i sleep with the deepest of blacks
i speak with the quietest of greens
my shame is pale orange
a sickly, strange color
it coats my fingertips
and it hurts to look at
my fear is a midnight blue
soothing in its constancy
it sings to me in the ruddy moments
it calms me during the greyest of days
my loneliness is a royal purple
in the paintings of my youth
it stands out
it overpowers all other colors
i live in shades of colors
together they paint a picture
of a person
or, a palette
