I am a myriad of color, a dance of hues, glistening in the swift wind
I am the blue
Sadness
Melancholy facet of life
I am the red
Anger, the rage
I feel at every slight
I am the yellow
Joy, happiness,
And delight
I am the black
Mysterious, obtuse
Chill of the night
I am the pink
A delicate flower
A beautiful sight
I am the purple
A bruise
Obtained in the fight
I am the gold
Possessing, displaying
A colossal might
I am the white
Blinding ones eyes
Brilliant and bright
I am the gem
I change
With every light

The Longest Minute
A minute. Sixty seconds to say goodbye. That’s all the time that I had left with him as the needle slid into his leg. I stared into his drooping eyes, looked at the blood-tainted saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth. They said that this was the best thing that we could do for him, a last kind act for a best friend…but if that were the case, then why did my heart feel so heavy?
