The Shade of Blue You Refuse To Wear

You are not defined
by the shade of blue
that weakened you in the past
but it was only worn around you
to humble you
to strengthen you
to heal you
to deliver you
and to prepare you
for the freedom of recieving
freshwater from saltwater

You are not the shade of blue
that weakened your soul in the past
but the shade of blue
that cleansed it for the future
but you must refuse
to keep wearing the shade of blue
that weakened you in the first place
