On the first page of Life
Written in Red
Don’t always pay attention to what others have said.
Because that is where self doubt is specially bred.
On the second page of life.
Written in blue
So many lives
Would be lost without you.
On the third page of life
It’s written in green
It’s all so temporary
The things that are seen.
Don’t be blinded by the worlds of
Gossamer glean.
On the fourth page of life
Written in pink
You’re never as unloved
as you may think.
And that confidence isn’t being devoid of a flaw
But still knowing you’re worth it
And choosing to stand tall
On the seventh page of life
Written in white
Stop looking for light.
Be it instead, shining bright.
Always standing for the right.
On eight page of life
It’s written in teal
Just because you feel it
Doesn’t mean it’s not real.
But remember you’re emotions
Are an adept liar
The line you must walk between logic and feelings will be your high-wire.
On the ninth page of life
It’s written in grey
Just because they tell you to hush
Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t say
All that you’re feeling.
All that’s in your heart.
You’re words can create and destroy.
Don’t let them steal you’re only means of art.
On the last page if life,
Written in gold.
Don’t spend your youth trying to fit into a mold.
Wasting your days always doing what you’re told.
