My Name Is…
Red. I am the color of love. Both an angel and a devil, I bring with me the truest of romances and the saddest of tales. I will make your heart beat like the wings of a bird, flying valiantly through the clouds. But do not be fooled, for with me I also bring heartache, as painful as a finely sharpened sword. Love is a risk worth taking. Take the leap and soar blindly into bliss, or fall hard and let your heart bleed slowly.
Orange. I am the color of anger. Like an immensely burning fire, I breathe the hottest temperatures into your veins, boiling your blood like lava. The smallest spark can send you into a blind rage; burning bridges you thought were forever firm. Catch a glimpse of me and be warned. In the heat of the moment, you might just make a mistake you never meant to make.
Yellow. I am the color of joy. As a ray of sunshine, I will brighten your day. I will fill your heart with happiness, your head full of songs. I will give you the ability to enjoy the smallest, most imperfect things, for the imperfect things are the most perfect. Breathe me in and let me soak to your soul, opening your eyes to the beauty of the world. You just might like what you see.
Green. I am the color of envy. I will wrap tight around you like a vine growing on a tree. My thorns will pierce you and leave you wanting for what you do not have, for what, in your mind's eye, you think you need. Dwell on the ifs ands and buts. Let your imagination take you where you have not been able to reach. Let me linger long and I will make you most ungrateful.
Blue. I am the color of sorrow. Worn like a cloak of depression, I weigh down your every move. I will make your heart heavy, your eyes stinging with pain and regret. Your days will be long and wearisome, for I will push you into a downward spiral, forever sinking, like a stone in the ocean deep. Come swim with me and just you try and keep your head above water. Come suffocate with me.
Indigo. I am the color of fear. With a clenching force I grasp you by the throat, choking out all of your screams. With a chilling sensation, I send cold sweats down your spine and dive to the deepest part of your core. As a hostage bound and gagged tight, you are unable to see, to move, to think. Like a never-ending nightmare, I haunt you with the worst, most imaginable thoughts and leave you with no escape.
Violet. I am the color of compassion. Like an unopened gift, I offer myself to you. A Good Samaritan, I will take care of you if you will let me. I am understanding, knowing the places you have been through. Forgiving, relieving you of your hardships. Encouraging, showing you a new way. As a teacher with a student, I teach you my ways, if only you will share them with those around you.

So choose your colors wisely and bravely step up to the canvas, because no one else can paint it for you.
