I used to be blue

I used to be blue –

cold and afraid…

afraid of my truth,

my light,

my love,

my power.

I used to be blue –

frozen among the others like me

afraid to speak,

to dance,

to dream,

to sing

And then I saw that to be frozen

wasn’t living at all.

So, I decided to let go of the blue.

I decided to find all the other colors in me,

the colors that longed to be free

to dance,

to dream,

to sing!

And I let them shine for all the world to see.

And when I did, I discovered that to be blue

was never really me,

It was only what I thought the others wanted to see.
