Mixed Paint

A blend

I may be a winter

But black is not the color of my life

My mood shines like beams of yellow

like the sun

Though I will not inquire

with words that make you sweat

I hate a conversation, made up of

questions

You are my friend, not my witness

I have pride in my rainbow of moods

That I can remain calm in most situations

I am saying that if I am crying

The sorrow is more than real

No illusion can bring on tears

If I am angry- what really happens

Running and avoiding

Is my best answer- Just walk away

Fits need not be raised

a very unsexy quality-action

West Side story- the sadness

All from the raising of fists

No, my color is not black

Yellow generates too much heat

A lite pastel

An environment where light colors blend- like streaks of mixed paint

A mixture of colors - calm soothing

I have pride- even if turning the other

cheek is laughed upon

surreal poetry
