If I Were a Color.

If I were a color,
I would be the color red.As red as a fast beating heart of a child as they hide during hide-n-seek.

I would be clear,
like the raindrops that run down the car window,
making a depressed young girl feel safe and secure.

I would be black,
like the raven hair that hangs in a teenagers face trying to go through life unjudged.

I would be tan,
like the foundation a girl sticks on her face in order for her to feel pretty.

I would be silver,
like the cd that comforts a girl after her first break-up.

I would be blue,
like the bruise on a teenage boy's face for being different.

I would be white,
like the lie that every teenager tells so that everyone would stop questioning if their okay.

I would be gray,
like the stage in life where everything seems so sad and negative.

I would be lime-green,
like the eyeshadow on a girl who's heart is screaming to be different.

I would be hotpink,
like the color of a guy's hair who freely expresses his sexuality.

If I had to pick a color,
I would be all the colors that represent each step in life.
