A friend told me once, blue suits you the most

And I took the expression to the letter

I painted the walls, the doors, the windows and myself with the latter

A color that now I often times use to describe my state of mind,

I am blue it means I am sad

Long shadows that surround my being

Cornering me against wall until I was buried in a lot of blues,

Suffocated with fears, haints and unease

Blue! A spell that unfreezes the waterfalls in my eyes and let them flow over my rosy cheeks!

Blue! A feeling that makes me Dwell on the bunch of things I lost on the past summers

The petals that fell from all the roses I wanted to keep

Leaving me with lots of thorns attached to my heart

Thorns that poke my heart whenever I meet a new face, you will lose them this summer too

Thorns that make my chest ache and kill the butterflies in my stomach, the fantasies in my mind and the spark of joy in my heart

Blue! a color I believed suited me

It turns out it was a pale color that made me look weak, sad and lonely!

Where to find solace that's the question, a song on repeat

In the windy days hoping they will sweep my worries and blues

Or the dreams that I will take as a go with no back flight

Or in my journal that holds scary stories of my past that bleeds whenever I open and start to seek

Or imagination that turns the dark night into a sunshine light

Where to find solace for the blues I carried for a long time!

Blue! a color that imprisoned me

Kept me faithless, helpless and restless

Trying to Piece together the memories I was left with to find an answer

Sifting my mind hoping to find a spoken ghost that might provide an answer!

But I found solace in the poems I write!

Heartwarming words that keeps me sane and sound

Because my mental health was the cost I paid once for believing in the color blue!
