47 Colors

yoga
Random thoughts flew through my mind
47 colors of every kind
Like a video vixen did I see
All these thoughts floating to me
 
I’ve often wondered what they mean
From where are they sent
And why
Have I seen
 
They told me of things
I did not know
They showed me signs
They gave me a show
 
Sometimes they would frighten
And fill me with fear
But still they enlightened
I held them so dear
 
Youth was so hard
I was told to hide
This beautiful gift
That came from inside
 
Teachers complained
I daydream all day
I was so young
I didn’t know what to say
 
I hid it and stuffed it
So I could be normal
I learned to be social
And how to be formal
 
The colors got darker
And started to fade
I felt like dying
I felt like a slave
 
Resentment and anger
Began to build up
To replace the things
That once filled my cup
 
I don’t know what happened
I don’t know what to say
The paintings of wonder
Have all turned to gray
 
But I’m willing to go there
I’m willing to see
Those 47 colors
Waiting for me
