My Hands Say It All

Ten, today what’ll it be,

Red Fire to scream a passionate friend?

Ten, today what are you feelin,

Deep Blue to remind you, the sky’s no limit

or that the depths of the ocean,

can’t hold you in it?

Ten, you get to decide.

Neon Orange? To speak of Summer and

Nights,

Filled with karaoke and lights

Living bold, unstrapped and carefree.

Or Neon Purple?

Taking more of a toned down approach,

Strutting boldness,

but less of the—

Hey look at me!

Ten, feelin less like yourself,

Wanting to just fit in for a change

Go Gray, Pearly White,

Maybe even beige?

Just tryin to skip drama

and a ticket for attention

I’ll stick with my French friend

while I’m in transition...

And when I decide I want back my voice,

I’ll let Ten reign it in

and make another bold choice!

But for now, the absence of color

I’m dealt.

To speak for the void

of emotions,

that’s felt.
