Not Enough and Too Much

I could be anything,
a world renowned chef.
Compose the next symphony 
for an audience who is deaf.

At the end of the tunnel 
I could shine my light,
but to the eyes of some,
I would be too bright.

I could be someone's rainbow 
after a stormy attack.
But the colors they see 
are only grey and black.

I'm that yellow traffic sign
that cautions what's ahead.
Drivers who ignored me 
guilty they plead.

I'm soft at first sight 
but rough to the touch,
and all at once
I'm not enough and too much.
