A Calamity of Colors

I welcomed in the chaos

Filled my life up to the brim

With colors and calamity

All that life can bring

I desired the vibrant things

The ones that shined the most

So I experimented with every shade

And allowed chaos to be my host

I was shifting with the winds

Leading with defiance in my heart

Unsure of what I wanted

And unsure of my own part

I knew I needed change

One that would bring true joy

So I tried on a hue

That wasn't destined to destroy

A simple, neutral beige

Mundane among the noise

A color that offered the perfect space

To really listen to my voice

Now introduced to a way of living

That didn’t shine or gloss

Beige is where I discovered

Calamity doesn’t have to be my boss
