I wish I was a color
A color to define me
Not one to make me duller
But one to make me shine
Yellow
Bright and contagious
Always ready with a hello
Center of attention
Joy so outrageous
Red
Bold and loud
Confident but a little proud
Embraces people with love
Some say they're from above
Green
Healthy and ready to act
Zealous but has room to grow
Peacefully pleasant
Just like a birthday present
Some say I'm white
But really I'm black and blue
Life is full of colors
But it'll leave its mark
I long to be a good color
One to bring joy
I don't know how though
Sometimes my head pounds
Pounds at the pressure of color
I guess I'm color blind
