Color Moods

When it gets overwhelming in the outside world,

Hiding in my bedroom with my notebook is where I feel furled.

Opening up the real me with visual expressions,

A way to release all my thoughts and confessions.

Mediums used expose my personalities and perspectives, breaking them apart.

Colors and finishes used are always a tell off to what is heavy on my heart.

Whether stroked with a paintbrush or words written in ink

Emotions are hidden are in every orange, violet, and pink.

When having to make a decision but stuck in between,

I tend to use markers that are green.

If you see a sketch page with nothing but red,

More than likely, I want to be alone and just go to bed.

Each blue word written represents something I want to say.

Unless certain parts are highlighted, then those may be just notes of the day.

When the color is dull or shows any type yellow,

It means I feel blah or chill and mellow.

When life is going chaotic or spiraling in a circle,

You will notice quite a few spots of purple.

If it seems too difficult deciphering color shades of dark and light,

Just remember I am at my happiest when I use black and white.

Especially with a gloss overlay that has a shine,

Those are days when I am in a good state of mind.
