Sometimes I feel gatorade yellow—
       bursting through my veins.
       Electric and exuberant,
       like music blasting through the aux cord
       as it consumes my body.
At other times I feel blueberry blue—
       coursing through my head.
       Insecure and indecisive,
       like quiet rain slowly tapping a window
       closing in around me.
But, together both colors make me
       A girl, wild but worried,
      cheerful but concerned.
      With both music and rain
      dancing together; creating who I am.
