Colors

There are many things in this world

I like to believe they all have colors

One example is music

Music is the color blue

Blue is the color of clear skies, of hope, peacefulness

The color of seas, of the tides wish-washing back and forth

The smell of sea salt on a hot summer’s day

Blue.

Hate is red. Red is the color of passion, resentment, anger

The color of red roses rising above the skies

Red is the color of your mom’s lipstick

Red is the color of cool cherry kool-aid on a steaming hot day

Red.

Yellow is joy. The sound of happiness, hope, excitement.

Yellow is the color of your mom’s warm, soothing hugs

Yellow is the feeling of love.

Yellow is the feeling, “everything’s gonna be okay.”

Yellow.

Last but not least, black.

Black is the color of despair, of sadness, of hopelessness.

But it's also the color of strength and power

Black is the dark thoughts you have from time to time

Black is the feeling of sinking deeper and deeper into a hole of depression

That you can't escape from

Black is the feeling of a mob of anxiety

That consumes you more and more each day

The feeling of drowning in a sea of your own thoughts

Black.

These colors are what I call the colors of emotion

We might hate them; we may love them

But we can't escape our DNA

Because they make us human

We are the human race.
