My world was once upon a time yellow
My colour of fear.
It permeated every aspect of life
Day to day
Living and loving
Nothing was exempt.
But my confidence has grown
I am bluer now,
My favourite colour.
I no long suppress emotion
Expressing it in red moments.
Momentary events,
quickly returning to blue.
The fear still exists,
Weaving itself
In and out of daily life.
But today I reflect
And life is greener
Contentment
relaxation,
I am happy when the blue flourishes
And the yellow takes its deserved back seat.

I am glad that yellow is deserting your life and that you are happy in your blue my friend 🙂
Thank Jenny, so am I.
Blue is much better for you 🙂
Thank you Anja, I think so too.
hey .. I like your way of presenting your emotions by colors//
Thank you Supriya ( is that your right name?) for reading and your comment. Yes it is, I see myself as a blue, as in colour person. Please call again.
Ya its my real name 🙂
Thanks Supriya it’s a lovely name. Hope to see you again.
I love this poem and especially the idea of the colours of emotions – but I’m so intrigued that yellow is your colour of fear? For me yellow is a bright and happy colour, a colour of hope…
Hello Pooky, I guess it is all a matter of perceptions isn’t it. I have always seen myself as the colour blue, in fact a wear blue a lot. A friend of mine sees red as her colour. For me yellow represents those moments in my life, thankfully in the past where fear was a daily hazard of life. Thankfully I have managed to to deal with that and not be so, but it still lingers as my poem suggests. I like that for you is it hope, we all see things differently. That’s what makes us all so interesting.
That’s really fascinating – I’m glad your life is less yellow now.
I’m purple. I’d never realised how purple I was until I earned the nickname ‘Purple Pooky’ at my old workplace. I went out for dinner with old colleagues the other night and they were shocked to find I wasn’t wearing any purple at all….
The colour comes and goes i find, I like that you went out not in purple, I don’t always wear blue, though today I am….hmmm..it’s all subconscious I believe. Its what you sit comfortably in I think at any one time. Surprise people from time to time…..well done.
How wonderful o be able to equate emotion with colour, then speak of a journey towards the more positive colours and emotions…I shall have to think what colours I ascribe to things, such a great concept!! 🙂 🙂
Oh thank you Helen. We all see our world in so many different ways. i was actually fiddling with the painting and realised i was doing my life in many ways. As I have said I am a blue person, colour that is, not emotion, god forbid, we some see music in colours i see my life that way, though I do have a conflict with black…..lol….maybe that’s another painting and poem.
Niiice!
No room for yellow in our lives unless it’s sunshine 😉
