Kermit the Frog and the Color Green
"It's not easy being green", Kermit the Frog once said.
Since yellow and blue make this color, is it better to be them instead?
I have been blue once or twice.
It did not feel good,
did not feel nice.
Sad and alone is what blue means to me.
Blue is the color I never want to be.
Yellow is another color I have endured.
It made me feel ashamed,
confused and unsure.
Coward and no backbone is what I know,
is my experience with being yellow.
And just like Kermit I have been green on an occasion.
It's an emotion that is hard to give an explanation.
Jealous, spiteful, angry and mean,
is what I felt while being green.
So maybe all these colors I just need to ignore.
None of them are easy to be, of this I am sure.
