Blue, my favorite color

Same as me and my sister’s eyes

It reminds me of

the oceans and of the

Sky and of the solar system

Of lakes, and of a deep mystery,

Of rivers, and of calmness

Blueberries,

My favorite fruit,

And bluebirds

Heavy rain, deep

Puddles, and sapphires

It reminds me of tears,

Sadness, laziness, comfort,

Exhaustion, and giving up

It reminds me how

I can’t feel anger

Any strong frustration I have

Melts into sadness and tears and

Tiredness and sometimes numbness

A common favorite color that’s found

Everywhere and could mean anything
