Green

I am green because I am new in my mind and understanding.

I am aware and open and listening to your stories.

I am scared of saying the wrong thing and the wrong name and the wrong pronouns, but I am open and loving and welcoming to your soul's truth.

I am red with anger for those who hate or dismiss true blueness.

I am unique because I can see it all as it is: beauty and ugliness, and the darkness doesn't have to be the absence of light, but the glorious deep where we are safe.

I am honoured to be in a place where white weddings are for everyone, and colours are admired and not discriminated against, and that we are all disastrously human and bright yellow in the sun.

I am green because I am blooming in my understanding of myself.

I am red with love for you.
