Colours

On the canvas of my life's painting I see many colours Many shades Blue for the days I had no clue why my life had such a sad hue Red for the days my heart go swollen and bled with love White for the days that were pure and sweet Black for the days I could do nothing but grieve Yellow for the days filled with sunshine Green for the days I spent in the bosom of nature Orange for the days that my life seemed to have a bright spark Grey for the gloomy days where everything was dull and I had no hope Brown for the days that were so dry and uncomfortable Gold for the days my world held meaning and had value Silver for those linings I found on the cloud of my life Pink for the days I was cheery Purple for the days my world was as sweet as berries I see the splashes and splotches across the canvas of my life All these Colours come together to make a blur brighter than the rainbow. Barakat.

Whilst I would like to change the negative perception of black, the rest I will agree. Need to slay a dragon.
