Character Traits

This soul is gentle, proud and true 
I’ve veins of red and veins of blue 
Red like flames that lick the air 
Blue that hides, they’re unaware

The heart that worships and adores
Is the same that pulls away, ignores 
I walk away by floorboard creak 
Too shy to see them or to speak 

But Saturdays I’m awfully loud 
Swerving through the lively crowd
With neon lights of green and pink
I think I had too much to drink 

I love the mornings, fresh cut grass 
The big bronze bells that ring for mass
The moon enchants me way up high 
And brings about a wistful sigh 

My moods are many colored hues 
Silvers, golds, the deepest blues 
I keep my love behind a wall 
I am human, after all
